3.1 General
The inks available for formulating recipes are measured with colorant calibrations and brought
together in an assortment. Using the spectrophotometer or ColorNet, you can define your target
color and it is then simple to calculate the optimum recipe. In formulating the target color through
physical models, the color values of the mixture are determined on the basis of the optical data
from the colorant calibrations. The data are then displayed on the screen.
Various program versions and auxiliary modules are available as options to extend the potential
uses of Ink Formulation.
See Section 3.7 «Program versions and auxiliary modules».
The user desktop of the Ink Formulation is clearly laid out. You are taken through the sequence
step by step. The data you require are displayed on screen simply by clicking with the mouse.
You need to familiarize yourself with the basic structure of the program so that you can use Ink
Formulation quickly and easily. So, please study this chapter carefully.
