Does the I1Pro and the i1 Profiler handle multiple readings?

2016-02-11 by michael.mutmansky@...

Folks, I have a new i1Pro2 here, and have tried it for linearization... It seems too work great for that, so everything is good.


However, I am making digital negatives for pt/pd printing, and because of the surface of the paper and the inconsistency inherent with hand-coated paper, I want to be able to make a print with multiple step tablets on it and read them from different locations on the paper to ensure I'm not building in a jiggy in the Lin curve because of a coating anomaly.


Can i1 Profiler do this? It's not clear to me how I can do that.


I was thinking that I could define a profile that has three or four tablets in it with the same value (0 to 100), and then read them all. As long as Profiler has the intelligence to average these readings, everything will happen quickly.


If I can't do that, I'll have to manually collect the L values and average them, and then put them back in the output file to run the Lin curve.


My thought is that it may make sense to do this manually anyway, even though it takes a lot more time because I can then manually adjust any L values that may appear to be anomalous.



Thanks,



---Michael
