Running Exposure Tests

3–1

Introduction

The SelectSet Avantra laser imagesetters produce high-resolution type
and graphic images. To attain the quality that SelectSet Avantra
imagesetters can deliver, you need to use the optimum exposure
setting for your imaging medium.

Before you begin production, always run and evaluate exposure tests.
To maintain high-quality standards, repeat the exposure tests at
regular intervals.

This section provides information on how to run exposure tests for
SelectSet Avantra imagesetters and how to evaluate them to determine
optimum exposure settings. It also provides information on how the
development process affects the density of the processed medium so
that you can control your overall imaging environment and ensure
that you get the results you expect.

This chapter covers the following topics:

n

Using the exposure test page

n

Running exposure tests

n

Evaluating exposure tests

n

Controlling the development process

After you evaluate a test page and determine the optimum exposure
settings for each combination of media and resolution you use, you
need to set the exposure values at the imagesetter control panel. See
Chapter 2: Using the Imagesetter Control Panel earlier in this user
guide for information on how to use control panel functions to set the
imaging exposure.
