If anyone has mastered the art of measuring strips of
patches with the Gretag Macbeth Eye-One and its scan
guide, I would appreciate some tips. I have yet to be
able to do 3 valid scan measurements in a row. The
typical message is "too many errors" or "border
patches not detected properly". With my usual success
rate, it is faster to measure in patch mode.
I thought this one might come up :
a. if you are measuring the Eye-One scan target, Eye-One CMYK target
or Eye-One RGB target, you can run the Eye-One Pro from top to bottom
or bottom to top of the guide, and the autoscanning is very fast and
very reliable, but
b. if you are measuring a non-Eye-One target, say any of the other
targets that ship with ProfileMaker Pro, you need to measure in patch
mode and not strip mode ... if you try to measure in strip mode there
is an error message.
The patch-to-patch sequence of a test chart needs to be optimized for
maximum dE in order that the Eye-One Pro can sense the difference
when scanning.
There is a note on this in ProfileMaker Pro 3.1.5 which ships with
both the new Eye-One targets and the targets ProfileMaker has for
X-Rite and GretagMacbeth instruments.
