Color iQC Help - X-Rite

process of sending colored swatches to your customer via ordinary mail and then
waiting for a response. Data on your targets is stored in a QTX (ColorTools
format) or XML (NetPalette format) file and the recipient must have a software
package capable of reading that file format (or Color iQC). Instructions for using
the e-Submit option are listed below. (For more information on the e-Submit
option, see the Tools menu options as well as eSubmit and Extended Tagging.
Sending an e-Submit file
1. Be sure that the program is in Quality Control mode and that the
Submit view fields for each target have been properly filled out.
2. Select the targets (trials) from the Tree View by clicking on them
once to highlight. You may use +click to select individual items or select an
item and then use the +click combination to select a range.
3. Once the needed items are selected, click on the "e-Submit xx
items" command either in the Tree View's right-click menu or from under the
Tools menu.
4. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name the file. The
default behavior is to name the file according to the current standard in the job.
However, you may alter that to any file name that you wish.
5. Once you have name the file, the system will automatically open
your e-mail utility, create a new e-mail, and attach the file you just created. The
name of the current standard from the job used to create the file will be inserted
into the subject line of the e-mail.
6. Address the e-mail as usual and click .
7. Your customer will receive the submitted targets for evaluation.
Receiving an e-Submit file
If you are on the receiving end of an e-Submit file, you may open that file
by using the "Read an e-Submit file" command under the Tools menu. The data
in the file will be imported into the current job, so it is a good idea to open a new
blank job before using this command. Otherwise, the imported data will be mixed
in with whatever data was in the job that was open when you executed the
command. In addition, the standard in the file will replace the standard in the
current job (if there is one).
