17. Select a target quality. Best reads the most targets and is
the most accurate, but it takes the longest to complete.
18. Click Next.
The software searches for an external device or printer’s on-
board device (camera). Profiles with up to six colors (CMYK
plus two Gamut+ colors) can be generated by the camera or
external device. Profiles with more than two Gamut+ colors
require an external device.
19. Check the Skip Printing check box if you want to skip
printing the color target and use a previously-printed tar-
get or a file with colorimetric data instead.
If you check Skip Printing and will be reading a preprinted
target, enter the number of color patches per row on the tar-
get.
20. Click OK to continue.
21. Click Initialize Device, or open a file to begin.
The targets print, unless Skip Printing was selected. After the
targets (or file) have been read, the software prompts you to
click Accept Readings. It’s a good idea to periodically save
the patch readings while reading is underway (select File -
Save from the menu).
Note
The DTP41-T should be black calibrated about once a
week. To black calibrate this device, select Device -
Black Calibration from the menu and use the target
supplied with the device.
22. Click Accept Readings. The software displays this message:
Target done. Click ‘Finish’ button.
23. Click the Finish button to continue.
24. The Edit Profile window displays.
