Measure soft dot
This mode allows you to correct the value in the 50% area within -10% and 0%. All measurement values over and below 50% will then be
adapted. No correction is possible for 0% and 100%. The correction adapts the measuring value of soft dots to their real size.
With this function, non-printable dots (characterized by their low density, can not be reproduced on plate and press) can be eliminated.
This can also be used to adapt the iCFilm to a dot reference with a true 50% dot area (i.e. UGRA Plate Control Wedge, RIT Microline
Resolution Target, etc.).
