[Notes to use]

(1) Hot holder setup

• When setting holder in the RIP to output file as the hot holder of LabProof SE.
• Check OFF "Scan also subdirectories�h, if RIP creates another holder in a Hot folder.

(2) Color matching accuracy

• The maximum of Delta E may get more than 8, 9 sometimes. It is because of difference in gamut between printing ink and ink-jet ink.
• If you set on the function "Keep primary black", the color accuracy of only BK color worsens.
• Cyan or Magenta ink will be mixed in Black even if "Keep primary black" function is ON in case of EPSON printer.

(3)Calibration by using reference printer

• On the "Keep primary black" function to output black color by black ink only. This setting is set to OFF after install LabProofMgr

(4) Dot proof

• Repetition of linearization should be done by 1-2 times and move to calibration operation.
• Select "moderate" when creating reference printer.

(5) Computation time of multiple printer option

• Computation time of dot proof with multiple printer option needs more time than use 8 bit data.

(6) Internal spectrometer in EPSON Stylus Pro 9900, 7900 HP Z2100

• Even reference printer was not used for Stylus Pro 9900/7900 printer, the built-in spectrometer could be used for the color collection.
  • Check off the "closed loop mode" in the case built in spectrometer is not used.
  • It cannot be used for a calibration and linearization.
• Time to take linearization (from output of color chart to measure)
  • Stylus Pro 9900, 7900 720dpi 4min.
  • HP Z2100 300*300 600dpi 6min (in case drying time 0 min)
• Time to take printer calibration and color correction
  • Stylus Pro 9900, 7900 720dpi 17min.
  • HP Z2100 300*300 600dpi 22min (in case drying time 0 min).
