Dot gain Select: dotGn (dot gain). There are the following 3 options
(see „functions“). example: dotGn 40-80
After selection of the dot reference, the next steps are
marked by flashing figures. The display shows the solid color
to be measured and the selected dot reference (e.g. dot gain
40-80%):
1) Read solid color, e.g. D = 1,59.
2) Read first dot area, dot gain is 9%.
3) Read second dot area, dot gain is 7%.
4) Read third dot area, if applicable.
5) New reading cycle: Select next ink zone or next color,
click and repeat steps 1) through 4).
An acoustic signal appears in case of an operating error (e.g.
in case of negative dot gain).
For dot readings to be repeated, a new measurement cycle
beginning with a solid color measurement must be initiated.
1) Dot Gain dotGn 25-50-75 % and
2) Dot Gain dotGn 40-80 % is preset and cannot be varied.
3) Dot Gain 60%: customized dot reference can be varied
by user as needed. See: “change dot reference”
Select: bAL. If you measure the 3 solid process colors c, m, y
(no special colors!) and then switch to bAL, the result will be
the grey balance. If only 2 solid process colors have been
measured before, the result will be the color balance.
Example: color balance cyan + yellow.
