READING appears momentarily, followed by the density values and CALIBRATION OK.
If UNRECOGNIZABLE STRIP appears, try cleaning the strip (see your X-Rite DTP32
Operating Manual).
7. Recalibrate the densitometer at least once month.
Measuring values with a DTP32 densitometer
You can connect a DTP32 densitometer to the Fiery SI or to your Macintosh or PC if
you are using Fiery XJ Print Calibrator. The densitometer scans the density of the first
patch, automatically advances to the next patch, and automatically transmits the
measured values to the Fiery SI or Fiery XJ Print Calibrator. The DTP densitometer
has an adjustable strip guide to the right of the strip entrance.
After each column is scanned, the density measurements are used to create a
Measurements file. In general, valid measurements for all patches fall within the range
of -0.05 to 3.05.
TO MEASURE CALIBRATION PATCHES WITH AN X-RITE DTP32:
1. When prompted on the Control Panel or Fiery XJ Print Calibrator, position the pointer
on the strip guide to 15 and click OK on the Control Panel or Fiery XJ Print Calibrator
to begin measuring.
First, you’ll measure the cyan column. Slide the paper guide left or right until the
arrow points to 15.
