Create or edit a tolerance set

A tolerance set defines the criteria used when you compare measurements to the color reference. You can choose if a verification result that exceeds the limit will be indicated by a warning or a failure.

Know the acceptable variation limits for your color workflow including:

ΔE formula
General ΔE limits
Primary color ΔE limits
Hue difference ΔH limits
Tone value difference tolerance limits
Chromaticness difference ΔCh limits
NPDC ΔL limits
Spot color ΔE limits

Note: Limits define the acceptable tolerance ranges that are calculated for each criterion.

In the EFI ColorGuard application, click .
In the Toleance Sets tab, place your cursor over the listing for an existing tolerance set.
Click .
Optional: Edit the name of the Tolerance Set.
Select a ΔE formula.
Use the check boxes to select the Tolerance criteria you want.
Enter a Limit for each criterion selected.
For each criterion chosen, select either Warn or Fail to indicate when a measurement exceeds the limit you specify.
Note:
- Warn is informative only and will still allow the verification to pass.
- Fail will cause the entire verification to fail.
Click Save.
