What are the methods of calibration?
Density/ 50% dot gain, TVI (total value increase), Gray balances
What are on press variables to adjust during calibration?
Ink film thickness, ink trapping, squeeze
What are prepress variables to adjust during calibration?
CtP plate exposure, CtP tone curve adjustment
What are the steps for the characterization dataset?
Print a target on a consistent and calibrated press, calibrate to whatever aim values, and measure the target using a spectrophotometer
What are the press variables that affect consistency?
Mechanics, paper, ink, prepress
