could throw off the proper detection of other patches.
Every effort is made to properly detect patches and predict other patches
properly. However, if auto detection does not initially produce satisfactory
results, the Change Patch feature should be used along with disabling auto
patch. After the learning process is complete, auto patch can be
reactivated.
The instrument will prompt you to measure a particular (prerequisite)
patch. Below is a list of typical prerequisite patch measurements.
•
Paper: First reading of the Job always needs to be paper. If a
different patch is detected first, a popup message will occur.
•
Solids: After Paper measurement, solids should be measured, as it is
a prerequisite for tint and overprint measurements.
•
Tints: Paper and solid patches need to be measured first.
•
Overprint: Paper and both solid patches for each ink being measured
needs to be measured before the overprint.
•
Gray Balance: In some cases it helps to measure the Black solid
patch after paper as it assists in the patch detection. However, it is
not always required. Black is not always used in a job.
