106 Chapter 7-Managing color 6. In the Add Entry window, from the File Value and Printer Value lists, select the desired values. 7. Click OK. The value table is updated, and the calibration graph is adjusted. 8. To save your changes, click the Save button. Validation Tool The IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 is, by default, set to a color aim defined by the source ICC profile. The default source ICC profile is selected according to the region and printing conditions defined by the user. For Europe the ICC profile is based on ISO Coated V2 (FOGRA 39), and for USA the ICC profile is based on GRACoL 2006 Coated V2. The IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 software includes a Validation tool that enables you to easily check the color accuracy of the printed output according to an industry standard. On completion of the validation check, the Validation tool generates a report indicating if the validation passed or failed. The report also presents the results of the tests on all the ISO standard categories. The Validation tool supports the Konica Minolta FD-9 spectrophotometer and the i1 spectrophotometer devices. To achieve the best color match the print engine must meet the following preliminary conditions: ● Have a color gamut that is similar or bigger than the aim ● Have good uniformity of the printed area ● Have stable colors from print to print ● Use paper stock similar to the aim paper stock ● Have a fresh calibration to the tested paper stock ● Have a new custom destination ICC profile of the tested paper stock When these conditions are met, you can run the Validation tool and generate a report that shows if the validation passed. When performing the next round of Validation tests of the same paper stock there is no need to create a new destination profile, you only need to recalibrate. If the report indicates that the validation has failed, it is probably because there is no match with one or more of the above conditions. You can check which category failed and try to correct it.
