Using a spectrophotometer

ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator is designed to work with the X-Rite DTP41
spectrophotometer, a device that measures density and color data. The DTP41
communicates directly with the Calibrator application in ColorWise Pro Tools,
sending measurements to the ColorPASS automatically.

Setting up the spectrophotometer

Before you calibrate the ColorPASS, you need to connect, configure, and calibrate the
spectrophotometer to prepare for measuring the printed patches (see "Calibrating the
densitometer" on page 3-27). For additional information about setting up and using
the DPT41, see the Instrument Operator's Manual that is included with it.
