In this video we are going to learn how to use the G7 features of version 12.1.
I’m going to begin in Media Manager. I’m going to start up by making a new media profile.
The first thing I must select is the G7 workflow. This will give us our G7 options in the profiling steps.
For purposes of this presentation topic and G7, I’m going to advance through the steps for profile making up to the point where the G7 options are.
So we can see the media group, media name. We can see our mode conditions.
The Ink Restriction chart that we've read in as normal,
our calibration data
and our Ink Limit values as well.
So up to this point, I’ve created a basic profile following Ink Restriction steps,
Calibration, Ink Limits, as my basic Print > Read > Next procedure.
Now I am at the G7 Grayscale Correction portion of my profiling. In this step, I will print
my G7 P2P Grayscale chart.
I’ll select these spectrophotometer devices that I’m using. Let my default be set to use my G7 native CMY,
and my P2P standard swatch of my P2P 51 swatch default.
I’ll set my conditions specifically for my printer, and now I’ll print this chart.
I see in my RIP-Queue. My chart is right a print. I would now print that swatch.
Return to Media Manager and I would read in my information using my spectrophotometer.
Now I have right in my information with my special photometers.
If I am using a third-party software, at this point in my options, I can import that information.
I will move on to the next step,
and it is here we come into our verification swatch. I will print my swatch.
Same as before I will make sure that my proper spectrophotometer device is selected.
And if I use my G7 native CMY setting turned on earlier in my Grayscale Correction step,
I definitely want to match that same condition.
And I have that on by default. Now I will print this chart.
I’ll return to the RIP-Queue. See my chart for my verification process, and I’ll print that.
Once that chart has printed, I’ll return to Media Manager. And I will read in that information.
Once my readings are entered,
I can see my verification status. That I have passed.
If my verification were fail, I would see red information stating that the failed
and it would indicate in my chart which part of the test has failed.
If that happens, we can iterate and have our calibration numbers for the Grayscale Correction.
We evaluated that I would go back into print that swatch based on those new members.
Read that in, and then be aware of my status.
When [Iterate] is selected, it will use the curves you just had and it will reiterate them.
So the next step would be to print this swatch again as a reiterated step.
Read the information, and then take note of your fail process status that maybe that is now set to a pass status.
This iterate is something that will overwrite the values.
So if you fail in your verification process and you want to perform the iterate,
you may want to stop at this time to make a backup, and then go in and do the iterate to the backup process.
So before I iterate, if I want to make a copy, I’ll stop and I’ll say “Yes”.
Now going to make a copy, I’ll add iterate.
And that I’ll make an edit, and return back to the screen of the iterate process.
At this point, I can click on [iterate], confirm my message and follow those steps.
So at this point I'm going to reprint my swatch.
Once my swatches printed, I will read that information in.
And now I can see my verification.
Again, this is an optional setting if your verification fails.
Our next step is to continue and print our ICC swatches
and perform our color management process with ICC build.
And that concludes our demonstration for G7 features in version 12.1.
