Creating a Characterization

In this step, you will also need to provide information on the media characteristics and printing process. This ensures that the right profiling algorithms are used and that the GMG OpenColor Prediction Engine delivers optimal results.

The fewer measurement data you can provide, the more important it is for you to feed in correct parameters, as profile calculation relies more on the GMG OpenColor Prediction Engine. If you provide a full characterization with relevant overprints, the entered parameters will have no or not much effect on the outcome.

A characterization describes the following:

• Measuring Condition (1)
• Printing Process (2)
• Media (3)

In the Inks/Characterization group (4), you will see the inks the application has recognized from the measurement data. You can change the ink names or adjust the print order.

If you are finished, click Save to save the characterization to the Database and then apply it to a related project.
