6. Click on the sample you want to measure. The option On white is automatically activated.
7. Prepare the spectrophotometer for the measurement of the respective concentration
grade of the colorant calibration and then click on Measure.
The measured samples are marked with a color, those which have not yet been measured are
marked with a horizontal line. If you want to measure more samples, repeat the procedure
from step 6.
If you want to load measuring values from ColorNet, click ColorNet and then proceed in the
same way as for the definition of a target color ( see Section 5.2.3.b «Loading a target color
from ColorNet»).
If you want to check the quality of the measured colorant calibration, please note Section
14.4.4 «Calculating optical data» and 14.4.5 «Diagnosis».
If you have selected Offset printing and entered an average weight per area/film thickness,
it is possible to enter the corresponding value for the current sample in the entry field Weight
by area/film thickness below the color field
(Only the opacity module) After measuring on a white substrate, the On black option is activated
automatically, provided the measuring mode On white and black has been set.
8. Click on OK when you have measured all your samples. From the measurements Ink Formulation
calculates the optical data of the colorant and displays it in an information window.
The roughness of the white substrate is also determined during calculation of the optical data
of the first colorant. For this reason, the process lasts slightly longer.
After the calculated data have been saved, the Define Assortment: xxx window reappears.
9. If you want to define other colorants, repeat the procedure from Step 1.
10. Once you have measured all the colorants, click on Close. The designation entered
for the newly defined assortment will be displayed in the assortment list on the left
of the Database: Assortments window.
