Table of Calibration Sets and Tone Curves
Loading a Calibration Set
Calibration sets are loaded from the Calibration box in the Page Setup of the virtual printer.
All MicroPress virtual engines have pre-loaded calibration sets.
Loading a Tone Curve: Tone Curves are loaded from the Tone Curves box in the Page
Loading a Tone Curve: Tone Curves are loaded from the Tone Curves box in the Page
setup of the virtual printer. Tone Curves are effective only when a calibration set is loaded
into the Calibration pull-down box in the RIP page setup. RIP ships with pre-defined Tone
Curves.
Using the "ToneCurveThumbnails" RIP feature
"User Adjust" is the process of changing a job's rendering in order to suit a users' prefer-
ence. Both B&W and color jobs may need adjustments in order to satisfy a customer. Tone
Curves are one of the tools created for this purpose. The best method for determining the
ideal adjustment is to enable the "ToneCurveThumbnails" feature in the RIP page setup of
your device. This feature, available to every printer type, creates a job "proof sheet" that
shows the job rendered using each Tone Curve in the library. For example, to determine the
best possible rendering of a page with continuous tone images, enable "ToneCurve Thumb-
nail" in the feature box of the Page setup, and send a single page of the job through the RIP.
The RIP will reduce the page to thumbnail size and process it through the entire library of
Tone Curves. The thumbnail images are then printed, 9 images per page, with the Tone
Curve name printed under each rendering. Simply choose the preferred Tone Curve, load it
in the Tone Curve box, disable the "ToneCurve Thumbnails" feature and RIP the job. This
powerful tool can be used with color/B&W, contone, or halftone devices.
Note: The RIP is processing the page multiple times, once for each Tone Curve. Depending on the image size,
processing may take a few minutes. Time saved in finding the best rendering for your job justifies the wait.
