Re: Calibration

2012-01-18 by Keith

Thank you both, Mike & Terry!
I did make the calibration print with the slider indicating 100, so it sound that at this point I'm good to go. For now. Until my next question. If it is a typo, it's gone unquestioned for almost 7 years.
My next question concerns reading the cal print. The last time I went through this(I did this ONCE-well over a year ago) I used my DataColor spectrcolorimeter, but can't remember the steps I took. Since all the documentation involves the Eye-One, is there anyone that uses the DataColor spectro. I know it can be done, I just don't remember how.
Thanks!

Measuring the step wedge that's printed will then help you determine where to set the ink limit for the paper. You will set the calibration slider to the ink limit value when you make your second calibration print.
