Obtain measurement for linearization

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.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.
