QTR calibration with printfix pro Version 2

QTR calibration with printfix pro Version 2

2007-07-13 by alexmurebeil

Hello,
I am new in this group. My name is Alex, located in Munich/Germany and
just starting with QTR.
I have problems to understand, how I can use the automatic QTR export
from printfix to QTR by reading the testfiles. By using the normal
calibration process of PFP for color profiles the software opens a
window and shows me which field I have to measure, when I have to
switch to the next line etc.
What I do is: I choose in PFP the measuring menu (just translated from
german, can be slightly different in the english version), press the
button "export file to", choose a name, click QTR format
override,click "lab", read with the spectrometer the fields and
finally click "finish".
I have actually the values in the exported file and can pull it to the
QTRxxx.exe file and the ICC profile is created, that´s fine. But how
can the software know, which printed file I have used for the
measurement??
Therefore I believe I am doing anything wrong and all the explanation
I have read was the PFP/QTR explanation with software version 1
without the possibility to create the file automatically.
Thanks for your helb and sorry for my worse english.
Regards,Alex

Hi Alex,

It sounds like you are doing everything correctly.  The QTR-Create-ICC
program figures out the data by how many measurements there are.  So with
21 measurements it knows its a 21step.  The only requirement is that the
steps are done evenly.  Data is also sorted automatically.
