- Once the charts are measured, review the measurements in the Check Measurements window. Inspect colors for any patches that may appear to be out of sequence or improperly read (the color will stand out against adjacent patches). Four options are available when inspecting color measurements - choose the most appropriate method: ○ Find and Repair Bad Measurements - The software attempts to find bad measurements and asks to repair or re-measure any patches found. ○ Apply Smoothing - This option applies a more progressive color to the entire list of ink patches by using average values from neighboring color patches (see TIP below). ○ Measure Again [Selected patch] - This option allows for re-measurement of color patches. ○ Repair (Ctrl+R) [Selected Patch] - Averages a chosen patch color from adjacent patches. TIP: Averaging, randomizing, and smoothing are optional steps; they can be useful tools to effectively remove printing variations, and may be recommended in some situations. Smoothing is reversible by clicking the Undo Smoothing button.

Four options are available when inspecting color measurements — choose the most appropriate
method:
○
Find and Repair Bad Measurements
— The software attempts to find bad measurements
and asks to repair or re-measure any patches found.
○
Apply Smoothing
— This option applies a more progressive color to the entire list of ink
patches by using average values from neighboring color patches (see
TIP
below).
○
Measure Again
[Selected patch] — This option allows for re-measurement of color patches.
○
Repair
(Ctrl+R) [Selected Patch] — Averages a chosen patch color from adjacent patches.
TIP:
Averaging, randomizing, and smoothing are optional steps; they can be useful tools to
effectively remove printing variations, and may be recommended in some situations.
Smoothing is reversible by clicking the

Consider the following points about finish and proofing.
Finish and proofing considerations
○
Lamination, coating, and varnish play a role in the final color of a printed product.
○
Measure
both
profile and spot color refinement charts post-finishing process (for
all chart
measurements
).
●
Print two sets of charts, one finished for measurements, and one unfinished; store both
for historical comparison or additional measurement needs.
●
Print two sets of proofs for each job: one finished (for customer approval and finishing
reference), one unfinished for comparison at press (for future runs); both should be
saved for reference.
