B-109 Importing Density Measurements
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 109
This appendix describes Simple ASCII File Format, which can be
used to import density measurements from measurement
devices. To use your own measurement data from an alternate
measurement instrument, record your individual readings in a
text file and structure it as follows.
Simple ASCII Import File Format (SAIFF)
This format describes Status T
measurement data for import into
the ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator. The three possible file formats
are:
• 1D Status T density for EFI 34 patch page
• 1D Status T density for EFI 21 patch page
• 1D Status T density for other pages (maximum of 256 patches
per ink)
The file format is ASCII and has no tabs. A single space or
multiple spaces are used as delimiters. Blank lines are not
allowed. Each line in the file represents four patches (C, M, Y, K)
of a specific ink value. Comments may be on any line in the file.
Comment lines must start with a pound sign (#) followed by a
space. A line with a pound (#) sign followed by any character
other than a space has been reserved. Comments must be on an
entire line by themselves.
Each line of data contains five values. The first number is the
sequential patch number (for EFI 34 and EFI 21 pages) or the ink
value percentage (for other pages). The four values that follow
are the density values of C, M, Y, and K of the corresponding
patch. Lines are ordered either by increasing sequential patch
numbers, or by increasing the ink percentage.
