Measuring the Colorimetric Data for Density Balance Chart Using the Spectrophotometer

This section describes how to create the colorimetric data using the spectrophotometer.

• Prepare spectrophotometer i1-iSisXL, i1-Pro/i1-Pro2, FD-5 BT, or FD-9 as well as the computer connected to the spectrophotometer, and USB flash drive. USB flash drive formatted in FAT or FAT 32 file system can be detected on the machine. USB flash drive with the U3 platform or security feature cannot be used.
  If registering via Web, prepare a computer that is connected with this machine via network instead of a USB flash drive.

• Use the ProfileMaker Measure Tool when the Spectrophotometer i1-iSisXL or i1-Pro/i1-Pro2 is used. Use Color Care measure or FD-S2w when the Spectrophotometer FD-5 BT is used. For the Spectrophotometer FD-9, use FD-S2w.

• When the ProfileMaker Measure Tool is used, the message [This application will run in a limited demonstration mode. A hardware dongle is required to activate all functions.] is displayed. However, the tool can be operated without the hardware dongle.

• When operating the ProfileMaker Measure Tool on a computer, click [Open] to select a script file corresponding to the chart size. For details of the script file, contact your service representative.

The following describes how to save colorimetric data of the spectrophotometer.

• To enter the density balance chart for i1-Pro/i1-Pro2, use a computer to enter the number of row and column of color chips printed on the chart before measuring each type. All color chips which are boxed (printed) must be measured.

• When the measurement using the ProfileMaker Measure Tool is completed, click [Close] on the computer screen to display another window. On the screen, always click [File] from the tool bar and save as a new file. You can also do the same by pressing the shortcut key, [Ctrl]+[S]. The data saved by clicking [Export Lab...] cannot be recognized on the machine.

• Specify the file name of the colorimetric data using the following texts up to 40 one-byte characters.
  [(Up to 14 characters of identifying information printed on the chart)_(up to 22 characters of user-customized information).txt]

• When the colorimetric data is registered, (up to 22 characters of user-customized information) are displayed as Adj. Data Profile Name.

• To save the colorimetric data on a USB flash drive, set the path [/C2070/ADJUST_DATA] to the drive, and save the data in the lowest folder that is the ADJUST_DATA folder.

• When using Care measure or FD-S2w, refer to the Care measure or FD-S2w user's guide.
