Using the X-Rite DTP32 densitometer

ColorWise Pro Tools are designed to work with the X-Rite DTP32 reflection densitometer, which feeds color measurements to the GA-1121 automatically.

NOTE: Measurements from other densitometers can be input using a simple ASCII file format (see Appendix B).

Setting up the DTP32

Before you calibrate the GA-1121 using the X-Rite DTP32, you need to connect, configure, and calibrate the densitometer to prepare for measuring the printed patches (see “Calibrating the DTP32” on page A-10). For additional information about setting up and using the DTP32, see the separate documentation included with the densitometer.

TO CONNECT THE X-RITE DTP32 TO THE COMPUTER

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Plug the square end of the interface cable (looks like a modular phone plug) into the I/O port on the side of the X-Rite DTP32.
