Transfer Curves
You can further ensure the accuracy of color transformations from
your monitor’s RGB data to your printer’s CMYK data by using
transfer curves tuned to your printer, ink, and media needs.
The Accel-a-Graphix CT4 ships with a factory default transfer curve
in ROM. The XANTÉ Utilities disks that ship with your controller,
contain additional transfer curves for all ENCAD QIS inks and
media. (The Macintosh files have .ps extensions and the PC files
have .XTR extensions.) You can create custom transfer curves for
your environment using the XANTÉ Linearizer and a color
measuring device (the Colortron II ships with your controller). See
the next section “Calibration and Linearization” for details on
creating custom transfer curves.
