Using the EFI Spectrometer ES-1000

The EFI Spectrometer ES-1000 is a hand-held spectrophotometer that measures the spectral light reflected from printed output and other colored materials, as well as the density of printed ink and toner. It uses the density measurements to effectively calibrate the GA-1121.

Setting up the ES-1000

To use the ES-1000 for calibration purposes, you must first set it up for use with your computer. For complete instructions on setting up the ES-1000, see the documentation that is included with the instrument.
