Printing the color measurement chart

11

Printing the color measurement chart

A possible procedure for printing colorimetric patches is to rasterize the chart at a frequency of 120 lpi with screen angles of 15° for yellow, 75° for red and 45° for blue. A recommendation on the order of printing these color separations can be found in Chapter 6H.

Linking color reference and measurement result

The two files, colour reference and measurement result, can now be compared. To do this, they must be dragged into the program window back in IMProve. It becomes visible that the colour reference contains the information of the three colours, but it returns the status NoSpace, whereas the colour measurement result contains no colour information of the primary colour, on the other hand the colour space returns a remission. These data are now directly related to each other, they finally belong together and are linked by means of the Link function in the toolbar. Once this link has been created, it is also possible to view the measurement result.
