5.9 Measure current ink mixture
This menu option is used to transfer the refl ectance values effectively
achieved to a mixed recipe. When the recipe receives this information, the
calculated refl ectance is replaced by the measured one and all following
program calculations (particularly the correction calculation) are based
on the effective refl ectance values. A recipe of this kind is proposed in the
standard way as palette recipe. With this menu option it can be clarifi ed
quickly whether a correction is necessary, since following measurement
of the mixture, the deviations of the color effectively achieved are shown
in comparison with the target color. It is not necessary to measure the
ink mixture for recipe correction.
1. Load the recipe associated with the ink mixture.
2. Click on Measure current ink mixture in Recipe menu.
You can also click on the recipe color fi eld to open the window to
measure the current ink mixture.
