Spot Pro can perform a checkup on a selected spot color group for a given media or substrate and an output profile. The checkup produces a report that shows how well your printer reproduces the colors in the selected spot color group. If needed, calibration and spot color optimization may reduce the color difference (∆E) and provide a better colorimetric match.

1. In Spot Pro, select a spot color group.
2. To print the selected spot color group, do one of the following:
   • Click Checkup from the toolbar.
   • Right-click the selected spot color group and select Checkup.
3. Select a paper source to print the spot color checkup and click OK.
4. Select the measurement instrument from the list and click Print.
   Note: Only supported inline measurement instruments are shown.

   Spot Pro prints the selected spot color group and begins the measurement process using the selected measurement device.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to measure the chart.
6. Click Next.

   Spot Pro produces a report that shows how well your printer is reproducing the colors in the selected spot color groups with the current calibration and selected output profile. The report shows the measured ∆E value for each color, and a health score to indicate how accurately the colors printed, with a score of 1 representing the lowest score and 10 representing the highest score.

   • You can save the report for future use, to compare the accuracy of colors over time.
   • Low health scores can be improved by recalibrating your printer, or by recalibrating your printer and creating a new output profile.
