Calibration and Linearization

To print the calibration swatch:

Procedure

Click > Print Swatch and select a manual hand-held strip device or spot color sampling device and click > Print.
NOTE
If you use a strip device such as the Gretag-MacBeth EyeOne, you may get invalid readings for the white data. To ensure that you get usable spot data points for each measurement, you will need to use the data from the black channel. To do this, click on Setup in the Print Swatch Dialog. In the Swatch Options tab, click select Spot 1 to substitute with the black linearization information.

Print Swatch

Substitute White for Black
Once the swatch is dry, click > Read Swatch and Read Swatch again to open the calibration data table.
Follow the Strip letter and Patch number. If you have substituted the Black Channel for your white ink there are no additional steps necessary.
Click > OK to accept readings and click > Next to continue.
Click > Build Linearization as usual. Note your Spot Channel curve is now represented bearing the same curve as black. Continue on to the Ink Limits step.
