Working with filters
Different filters can be used on a spectrophotometer:
• a Polarization filter, which can be used to take away the disturbing effect of measuring on a glossy
substrate.
• a D65 filter, which has to be used if D65 is used as reference light temperature.
• a UV filter, which can be used to take away UV light from the spectrophotometer light source. This
can be helpful if you are measuring on substrates with optical brighteners.
The default setting in Color Kit is NO filter. If you want to work with a filter please proceed as follows:
1. Make sure your spectrophotometer is connected to your workstation.
2. Put on the right filter.
3. Double-click the Spectrophotometer button (or go to the 'File' menu and choose 'Settings').
4. Change the Settings to Custom.
5. Select the right Geometry (D65 or Pol).
6. Click 'Calibrate'.
7. Click 'OK' and you come back to the same window.
8. Click 'OK' again.
If the following window comes up, the filter that you used does not correspond with the settings in
Color Kit. Please change either the filter or the settings and recalibrate.
