You can use the EFI ES-2000, Fiery ES-3000, or Epson SD-10 spectrophotometer
to measure color patches by scanning each strip of patches in order.
When a strip is scanned successfully, the display
indicator is green, and the arrow in the display moves to the next strip. If the strip is not
scanned successfully, the display indicator is red, and a message directs you to try again.
- For more accurate measurement, place several
sheets of plain white paper beneath the calibration page or use a backup board if it is
available.
-
Orient the calibration page so
that strips are horizontal and the scan direction is left to right.
-
Hold the
spectrophotometer with its length perpendicular to the scan
direction, and place the tip of the sample aperture on the
white space at the start of the specified strip.
- Press and hold the spectrophotometer button and wait
for a signal (an indication on the display or a sound).
- After you see or hear the signal, slide the spectrophotometer
at a slow but consistent pace across the strip.
- Take about five seconds to scan the length of the strip.
- Release the button when all the patches in the strip
have been scanned and you reach the white space at the end of the
strip.
- Repeat for all the strips in the order indicated on the
display.
For black-and-white printers, there is a single strip.
- When all the strips have been scanned successfully, click Continue to view the measurement results.
