10.2 Formulating a target color with ink leftovers
When the Use of ink leftovers box is selected, you have the additional
possibility in the Colorant Selection window to measure an ink leftover
or to load it from the database. The ink leftover is taken into the current
assortment and can then be used for formulation.
1. In the main window, activate the Use of ink leftovers box.
2. Now proceed as for formulation of a target color ( see Section
5.2 «Formulating a target color»). After the substrate has been defined,
a dialog window appears.
3. Enter the ink quantity which is to be mixed and confirm with OK.
The window Colorant selection appears.
If you activate the check box Limit leftovers, then the leftovers are
limited to the available quantities. The corresponding limitations on
concentration are shown in the Colorant selection window and can
be changed there if required (e.g. entering a minimum concentration).
On the right of the window, three more buttons are displayed for the
processing of ink leftovers.
The Available colorants field displays a list of all colorants of the current
assortment which are not leftovers. Leftovers already contained in the
assortment will be displayed in the Selected colorants field.
If the Use of ink leftovers is switched off, the leftovers are not displayed.
You now have the opportunity to define an ink leftover in two different
ways (see the following Sections).
When you have defined all the ink leftovers and have selected the other
colorants to be used for formulation, click on OK. The recipe calculation
takes place and you come into the Recipe Selection window.
