Calcheck
The Calcheck function displays Calcheck status summaries for all attached monitors, as compared to the values defined
in the Calcheck Chart assigned to the SoftProof Default Press and Camera setting.
Clicking on the Calcheck header allows users to quickly view whether a display is currently calibrated for softproofing a
particular press profile. See Applications > SoftProof; Workbench >
Press for details.
Note: If a Calcheck summary is blank, this means:
• No Calcheck data exists for the monitor;
• That the current Calcheck for the monitor was measured
against a different Calcheck Chart than the one assigned to the
SoftProof Default Press; or
• No Calcheck Chart has been assigned to the default Press.
The top section of the display area shows:
• Press – The currently selected SoftProof default Press configuration.
• Calcheck Chart – The Calcheck Chart assigned to the above Press configuration.
