Printing a Calibration Strip

After sending a transfer curve to the controller, print a calibration
strip. This strip is used to measure the printer's current performance,
which is the basis for adjustments to the transfer curve to calibrate
the printer.
To print a calibration strip
1. Select Linearize... from the Color menu (Macintosh) or from
the Controller menu (PC). The Linearize window appears.

2. Select the Number of Patches to print. If you use a Colortron,
we recommend you select 11. Check the device documentation
to determine the number of patches to select, if you use
another measuring device.
3. Click Print Calibration Strip (fig. 8.5). A calibration strip
prints from the designated printer. This strip shows the
printer's baseline performance using the transfer curve you
selected and downloaded to the controller.
4. To close the Linearize window and return to Command
Center's main menu, click OK (Macintosh) or Close (PC).
5. Select Exit from the File menu to exit Command Center.
