Color iQC Help - X-Rite

4. Deleted for Storage Limit -- This means that you have more concentration
levels than needed to characterize this colorant. Color iControl can only store
a maximum of fifteen concentration levels and a maximum of four repeats.
5. Warning: Minimum Wavelength Shift -- This warning indicates that two of
your primaries have different minimum wavelengths. Since you are storing
primaries which should all be of the same color, merely at different
concentrations, this may indicate that you have accidentally misnamed a
measurement of a different color and placed it together with the primaries for
the colorant you are currently evaluating, or it may not. Examine your data
carefully when you receive this message. This message often appears for
blues and yellows which have large flat areas along their curves. In these
cases, the program may choose different wavelength minima, but this is not a
problem.
6. Color Values of this concentration and the next are incorrect -- This
message may appear when the color value for a lower-concentration primary
exceeds the color value for a higher-concentration primary, indicating a
problem with the primary set. Usually, this will be the result of mislabeling or
entering the incorrect concentrations when the primaries were stored.
7. Could not fit this data to a curve -- This message will appear when the
primary data cannot be fit to any curve that Color iControl can calculate. The
program will truncate the data to achieve the best fit it can. You may wish to
simply let Color iControl eliminate the data it cannot fit, or you may possibly
switch from the Model setting for the Colorant Building Plot to the Point-to-
Point setting. Switching to Point-to-Point should only be done as a last resort
after checking the data for other possible problems and dyeing a replicate of
the primaries to ensure accuracy. At any rate, if you receive this message
you should examine the data in question very carefully.
Storing the Primaries
Once the primaries have been evaluated, they may be stored using the
Store button located above the Primary Evaluation window and illustrated to the
left. Clicking on this button brings up a dialog box requesting various pieces of
information about the primary being stored (below). Most of these fields will be
filled in automatically by Color iControl. The most commonly modified field in this
dialog would be the one for cost. If you are using Color iControl to determine
some of the costs for your formulas, this field should be filled in with the correct
value. When all the fields are filled according to your own requirements, click
OK. The colorant will be stored into the current job.
The colorant is NOT stored to the database by using this button. If you
wish to store the colorant to the database, you will need to do so after it has been
stored into the job just like other data.
