values or ∆LCH & ∆E, depending on the user configuration.

Tap the Paper QC button and set the mode the results are displayed. Options are: CIE L*a*b* (as

used by G7) and CIE L*C*h° (as used by PSO).

BestMatch Table (Job tools only, Solid functions)

This job function has a table which views the BestMatch results of all colors of a job at once.

Each row in the table represents a different solid ink used in that job (table will scroll down if

there are more solids than can fit on a single screen). First in each row is a color patch

representing which ink, followed by two delta E values (1

current sample, 2

adjusted delta E).

Finally, on each row it shows the recommended density (thickness) adjustment.
