Select Illumination (D65 or D50) and Observer (2 or 10). By default is D65, 2º.

Performance

Start the Calibration as usual until the point to measure printed Single Ink Cut chart, Linearization chart, and Printer profiling target chart. 

Single Ink Cut/Linearization chart measurement

Print the charts as Calibration Wizard requires in the manual.

Place the print chart on the target holder. For accurate measurements, the device must be calibrated before use. The measuring head is equipped with a switch that allows manual insertion of the white reference. The calibration is required with each new printed chart.

To fix the fabric on the holder, switch on the electrostatic attraction with the button ON until the light flashes white.

Press the Measure… button to read the chart. It opens the measurement dialog and is connecting to the device.

Once the connection to the device is established the positioning options are open. By default use Automatic. The parameters are configured automatically by default. Continue with OK.

The corners of the target will be located and the target's position calculated. After the process, the target gets measured automatically.

Simultaneously in Calibration Wizard, the lines are completed with each measures line. Verify the measurement results and if necessary repeat or make measurement averages.

Profiler target chart measurement

Print the charts as Calibration Wizard requires in the manual. Once again repeat the device calibration as described above.

Using the large target chart of 1530 patches contains 5 pages of targets with different measuring apertures.

Press the Measure… button to read the chart. Once the device connection is established it opens the measurement position. Continue with OK.

You must make the position configuration of the measurement target. It will open three position configurations that you must confirm with OK until the positioning is completed. After the process, the target gets measured automatically.

Simultaneously in Calibration Wizard, the lines are completed with each measures line. When done, click on OK in the measurement dialog and finish the calibration.
