Let's take a look at creating a new test based on some industry standards.
We'll start by selecting configure ColorCheck.
Next we'll select [New].
Name this appropriately. For example, in the area to select ColorCheck environment.
If we want to base this test on G7, then we would select that environment.
G7 process control master.
Now the
characterization data set reveals proper test charts specific to G7
If we select standard simulation, the
characterization data set, displays the proper test charts accordingly.
You'll see ISO, Fogra, C Gatz.
These are the options we have. So let's go back and make this test for G7.
Will give the swatch name
an appropriate name.
Default Quick Set, will be applied in the case of some standard simulations.
So I will select my G7 Quick Set, which will impact my color management as the recommended
G7 input profiles.
In the G7 Quick Set, we'll notice the recommend the G7 profiles.
This will be the color management applied to my G7 test swatch.
Notice the message at the bottom of the characterization data set. The
input profiles in your Quick Set are consistent with the selection.
I have the check box enabled to only display data sets compatible with the swatch Quick Sets.
If the G7 Quick Set was not selected, there would be less choices in the display.
This will only display the appropriate
G7 Quick Set is selected. We can see the full complement of test types.
Therefore, depending on the color management selection, the list will be filtered.
In the options button, we can see controls we have to set. These settings will be saved to our tests.
We can set the expiration time, if you want to set this for one day, or a week or possibly a month.
Or you can just turn this on for a report only type tests. You need to run the tests, and measure the swatch charts.
See how close you are to your tolerances, but it will not update the status and the RIPQueue.
We're going to enable my verification expiration for one month. I'll select [OK].
Now we see the tests in our list.
We notice our names of our tests
the environment, the selection type, and the expiration dates or the report type.
To run this test will simply select G7 swatch and click the [Print] button.
We'll notice our printer media mode settings, as well as our Quick Set, and we'll select [Print].
I'll close my configure ColorCheck.
I'll print my chart.
Once my chart has been completed,
I'll measure, by double clicking the file, and enter the job properties attributes specific to the ColorCheck.
At this point I'll begin my measurements.
When the measurements are complete, we can see the results of our test charts. At this point,
I can select the [Report] button, save my file and
then I can view this and see my metrics, my verification status, and my tolerances.
I can see all the patches in the information below.
And that is how you create a new test chart
