5, Click on Calculate. The Define current ink mixture window is displayed.
6. Click on Measure to measure the ink mixture. After measuring, the Recipe
Entry window is displayed.
7. Enter the quantities or percentages of the colors contained in the recipe
and click on OK.
The program calculates the roughness associated with this substrate
and shows it in a window as a percentage value.
8. By clicking on OK, the roughness which has been calculated is automatically
assigned to the current substrate.
The roughness value which is calculated is an approximate value. If the
results of formulation are not satisfactory, you can try to improve them
by slightly varying the roughness value.
Now the assortment which was created on a non-absorbent substrate
can be used in practice for formulation on an absorbent substrate. When
defining the substrate during formulation, this substrate can now be
selected from the substrate database. However, it is essential that the
substrate which is to be used corresponds both in color and in surface
properties (roughness) to that saved in the substrate database.
The opposite is also possible, namely that an assortment created on an
absorbent substrate can be used for formulation on a non-absorbent
substrate . To do this, the non-absorbent substrate must be entered in
the substrate database with a roughness factor of 0 (zero).
16.5 Deleting substrates
1. Click on Substrates in the Database menu. The list of substrates
is displayed on the left of the Database: Substrates window.
2. Click on the substrate you want to delete.
3. Click on Delete. The window Confirm delete is displayed.
4. Click on OK. The selected substrate is deleted.
16.6 Sending substrates
In the Database: substrates you can select one or more substrates and
send them by email by then clicking on Send. Please note Section 3.6.4
