Device Condition
A combination of a device and the operating conditions in
which the device captures or produces an image. A device
condition has a known color response. Device conditions can be
divided into groups such as print conditions (press and proofer
devices), capture conditions (scanner and camera devices), and
reference print conditions (industry specifications). A device
condition can include more than one device. If all the devices
are the same device type, they use the same consumables and
operational settings, and they can be calibrated to yield the
same color response.
When a specific color setup is selected, this list contains all
ColorFlow device conditions that use the selected device and
are used in the PCO or an SCO of the selected color setup and
snapshot.

Plate Line
You establish the behavior of a particular plate, screening, and
plating line by plating a tint ramp, manually measuring the
resulting dot area on the plate, and entering the values in the
Plate Setups dialog box in the ColorFlow software.
A ColorFlow plate line is associated with only one plate setup.
In your shop, you may use a platesetter and chemistry to
process several different screenings. To model this, in
ColorFlow, create similar plate lines in the other plate setups.
You can name them to match the equipment in your plant. You
may want to create several plate lines to indicate when
chemistry changes occur. For example, if you routinely change
