Measuring Dot Procedure
So far, you have performed the procedures to select the dot
mode, options, and to measure paper.
You are now ready to begin taking dot measurements to
evaluate dot gain and dot area. The measurement data that
displays depends on the way you set up your instrument
earlier, and the dot mode selected. The instrument
maintains separate data for each of the colors (vcmyrgbo).
