Print Characterization
Is used to print and measure the response of a print device.
When this option is selected, a
device curve
and
plate calibration
curve
are applied to each output separation.
Plate Verification
Is used to verify the linear response of plates produced by a
particular plate line (consisting of the computer-to-plate device,
plate processor setup, and chemistry), with a selected
screening system. When this option is selected, only the
plate
calibration curve
is applied to input tints of all separations.
Plate Characterization
Supports imaging and measuring the uncalibrated (or intrinsic)
response of a plating line, such that a plate linearization curve
can be computed. When this option is selected, no calibration
curves are applied to input tints of any separations.
Applying ColorFlow curves and making tonal adjustments
If a printing plate has imaged and run on press, but the press is not
printing with the desired response, you may need to recreate the plate
using a different ColorFlow curve channel for one or more separations.
You can also make tonal adjustments to the assigned ColorFlow curve
channel. These adjustments, made on-the-fly from the Start Process
dialog box, are appended to the ColorFlow calibration curves and have
no effect on ColorFlow colorstores.
ColorFlow and archiving
If you retrieve an archived job for which ColorFlow is enabled, the
ColorFlow server will request the name of the color setup and the
number of the
Snapshot
that was used to initially process files within
that job. If you have modified any of the elements within the color
setup from the initial time of output, these modified elements will be
used to output the archived job.
In addition, if the initial color setup was deleted or renamed, the job will
fail processing. If you want to change a color setup, duplicate the
original one and make changes to the duplicated and newly named
color setup. You can use the
Allow undefined color setup or color
setup mismatch
check box to output the archived job when the
selected color setup differs from the color setup assigned by the refine
process.
