SpectralVision Pro is
provided with ColorBurst to measure and save linearization, profiling,
and PrintCertification targets.
Linearization
A linearization file is a curve
that corrects for non-linear output throughout the tonal scale.
Over time (and on every different media) a printer will drift
from its original state. By relinearizing you are updating an environment’s
existing linearization and putting the printer back into its original state,
reproducing all the conditions under which the ICC Profile was made. When you
relinearize, you have made the ICC profile as accurate as the day
it was made. SpectralVision Pro includes linearization targets
for all supported spectrophotometers (see chart below).
ICC Profiling
SpectralVision
Pro can be used to create custom CMYK ICC profiles. Profiles can
be made for any ink and media combination. SpectralVision Pro includes
controls usually seen in expensive profiling software, such as
Black Generation, Black Ink Limiting, and an adjustable Black
Ink Curve. These controls give you complete control over the
black build.
ICC profiles created with SpectralVision Pro are standard ICC
profiles and can be used in any ICC compatible application.
PrintCertification
PrintCertification is integrated
into ColorBurst and SpectralVision Pro to certify that your printer
is performing within an acceptable range.
If you print a PrintCertification target
with print job, the individual print can also be measured
and certified. A PrintCertification label can be printed to affix
to each certified print. PrintCertification labels can be printed
with a DYMO LabelWriter 400 series or 300 series label printer.
PrintCertification is currently available with X·Proof and X·Proof Plus on Mac OS X only. PrintCertification is not included with X·Photo or X·Proof 3800. PrintCertification for Windows will be available later this year.
