OPERATING MANUAL
Various entry fields and buttons will be displayed, depending on the process selected:
Offset printing:
If you activate the Enter yes/no check box, a field is displayed which allows you to enter the
target weight per area or the target film thickness for all calibrations of the colorants. If you
make no entry, the program will assume that all measurements are based on the same weight
per area.
Flexo or gravure printing (viscosity module only):
In the entry field the Viscosity of colorant calibrations enter the viscosity of the colorants
included in the colorant calibration series in seconds ( see Section 24.3.7 «Viscosity in flexo
and gravure printing»).
If you activate the Enter (yes/no) check box, in a selection field you can choose the calibration
roller to be used for the colorant calibration series. You can process the selection list in the
film thickness objects database ( see Chapter 19 «Processing and creating film thickness
objects»).
In addition, the Solvent button is displayed. The solvent can be described more fully here
( see Section 14.4.6 «Entering a solvent»).
Screen printing:
If you activate the Enter (yes/no) check box, in a selection field you can choose the calibration
screen to be used for the colorant calibration series. You can process the selection list in the
film thickness objects database ( see Chapter 19 «Processing and creating film thickness
objects»).
4. Select the measuring mode and define the remaining information for the assortment.
On white (transparent) or On white (opaque): If all the samples are transparent or all the samples
are opaque, measurement on black is not necessary.
On white and black: If you are measuring opaque, semi-opaque (translucent) and transparent
samples, you must measure on white and black.
5. Click on Units and select the units which you generally use for weight, weight per area/film
thickness and specific weight.
You can also enter your own units. However, please note that no conversion is performed
either with the standard units or with your own units.
