Print Calibration

Print Calibration Dialog

Print Calibration prints a linearization target to the

selected virtual printer. Targets are read using a den-

sitometer. Targets work with any densitometer (e.g.,

X-Rite DTP51, 36, or 32). Set the instrument to read

positive dot coverage in percentage terms. DTP

instruments can be programmed using the “DOT

MC” or “DOTCMYK” program listing in this chapter.
Select a virtual printer and click Print uncalibrated

target. The target prints to the selected virtual printer

without using a calibration set. Any calibration set

loaded for that printer is ignored. If you’re using a

DTP instrument, click “pap” to display the installed

programs. Click "other" until the DOT program appears. Read the target by passing it through

the DTP instrument. The DTP program stores the values in the "data" window of the instru-

ment. To find it, click “p1” once (to go to p2), then click “data.”
If you’re using another densitometer, read each patch and record the dot percentage value.
The target will print to one PrintStation. You can consider this representative of your entire

system, or you can reprint the target from PrintStation Manager to average other engines.

The calibration set you create will be a single curve representing all available PrintStations.

DOT MC, DOTCMYK and DOT RGB Program Listings

If you have an X-Rite DTP strip reading instrument, enter the following programs into the

instrument to read MicroPress Dot Linearization targets. “51” means DTP51. “32/36” means

DTP32 or DTP36. Click the p1 twice to go to page 3. Go to the edit menu.
