You can print a patch page to measure, or import measurements from a recent
calibration. These measurements must accurately represent the current performance of your
press.
Note: This procedure applies to presses
without light inks and duplicate
inks.
- Choose one of the following:
- Print measurement
chart
Select Include visual chart
to print the measurement patches for visual inspection.
If you choose this option, follow the online
instructions to print patch pages and measure them.
- Import measurements from
file
Note: Loading measurements from file
is most useful for tests and demonstrations. It is otherwise generally not recommended. Best results
are obtained when measurement pages for all calibration creation steps are printed and measured in a
single session.
Keep in mind the following:
- The response of the press may have changed since
the measurement file was saved.
- Measurement files do not contain information on
how the measurement pages were printed. Default job properties are assumed.
When you select this option, you are automatically
taken to the location where the measurements files are stored.
If you choose this option, the measurements will be
displayed in the next window.
-
Click Next.
If you selected Print measurement
chart in the first step, the Patch
Layout window in FieryMeasure
is displayed. In the Patch Layout window,
select the instrument and the chart size. Click Print
to continue.
Note: When you are recalibrating, be sure to a
substrate type very similar to the substrate type that was used to create
the calibration. Do not change settings from the
Color tab and the Image
tab because these settings were automatically set by the calibration
software.
