and move the Spectro towards you when measuring patches. This uses the body’s
most controlled motion when moving from patch to patch, and allows easier viewing of
the Spectro’s location on the target.
The Purpose of This Step
This screen allows you to measure the color patches of a printed profiling target into a
Measurement File, or to select a previously built Measurement File instead.
The Long Answer
Measurements for building a printer profile can be obtained either by reading all the
color patches in a printed target to a new Measurement File, or by selecting an
existing Measurement File, with or without remeasuring any of its patches. If you have
measured your patches previously, and wish to remeasure a few of them, or rebuild
your profile with different slider settings, then please go to the
Existing Measurement
Files section below.
New Measurement File Naming
To create a new Measurement File, first click on the Save Measurements to… button.
This will generate a new Measurement File. Name as appropriate to best describe your
combination of device, colorant, media, and settings.
The Patch Reading Process
Read Patches Button
Next click on the Read Patches button to start the reading process. This will open a
floating window containing the target previously chosen in Select Profiling Target
window. If the printed target you intend to read is not the same configuration as the
Patch Reading Template in the floating window, close the floating window, and use the
Back button to return to Select Profiling Target, and choose the appropriate target,
before returning to the Read Target window. This will generate the correct patch
