How to Evaluate and Store Primaries
This section is intended to be brief step-by-step instructions on Evaluating
and Storing Primaries in Color iControl. Links have been included to allow the

There are four actions necessary for evaluating and storing primaries in
Color iControl:
Selecting the substrate.
Selecting the primaries for evaluation.
Examining the evaluation.
Storing (or deciding not to store) the primaries into the current job
or the database.
Each of these actions requires several steps in order to complete the
process. Each is explained below. These instructions assume that the
correct data has been loaded into the current job. If you need instruction on
loading data, see the Data Management.
Selecting the Substrate
In order for Color iControl to operate properly, spectral data for the undyed
substrate on which the primaries were dyed must be provided. This data
should be made available either by reading the sample with the instrument or
recalling it from the database. Once the data is available, click on the down
arrow beside the display box marked Substrates. A pull-down box will
provide the user with all the substrates available for this job. Click once to
select the correct substrate.
Selecting the Primaries for Evaluation
1. Place the cursor on the primary series you wish to evaluate. Right-click
once.
