1st report

2006-07-27 by ed_limmy

Printed 729 patches on 3 pages last night. Waited 24hrs for them to dry 
and took measurements.

It was quite an effort. Luckily for me i got the idea from a reviewer 
on the net which had a picture of using an additional lamp to light up 
the area or else it would have been quite difficult to tell if the 
aperture is correctly on top of the patch. I had to sit on a smaller 
stool to bring the entire thing up to my face so that I can see whether 
the unit is correctly placed. gonna try to put some white or silver 
marking to the aperture to enable better visibility of where the thing 
is.

I think it took me not less than 30 minutes or so for all the patches 
to be read - I didn't take note of the time. 

Problem - I really don't understand the part where i'm to set the 
reference white and black controls. What should i be doing to those 
functions for better softproofing? I have read the help files but 
couldn't understand it.

Can someone explain to me how i should be manipulating the reference 
white and reference black values/functions.
Thanks.

Ed.
