Dear Andre, We at MPX 360 have developed a system called "Smooth Profiler" that not only averages results but smooths the datasets as well. The algorithm used is unique and is called "silk curve", created by our own Mark Priest the creator of the original "Press Signature" system. This action will ensure that you get smooth transitions in your resulting profiles. You can use Colorport with the DTP22 and feed our application the resulting datasets. For screen printing we also have custom targets that reduce the area of print so that varying "pressures" do not effect the results so negatively. We also developed a system with our partners called DL Profiler, this system builds smooth ICC and Device Link profiles for use in our Colourserver2 products. As demonstrated in the IPA Ink Optimisation shoot out last year. For more info please contact me off list.

I wouldn't think there'd be much need for averaging with the DTP20 Pulse since it's already taking multiple readings per patch and sort of averaging on the fly. I'd just make sure you're using a chart with the largest patch size that the DTP20 can accommodate. You may have to use ColorPort for that since I doubt Pulse Color Elite allows you to create custom charts.

Hello Group,
I was curious if anyone had a good suggestion for averaging the Xrite DTP20's readings for a low 30lpi halftone color target made with 4 color screenprinting? I do know Xrite's newest solution has an average feature, as do some older programs like ProfileMaker.
The Pulse ColorElite does not, however, I could average using ColorPort, taking individual numerical readings and averaging with Excel or similar. I'm hoping there is a utility or program that does support the Xrite DTP20, allows targets to be read multiple times to compensate for low res color swatches.
Any suggestions other than buying a new CMM setup or taking the laborious route of manual readings? :)
many thanks Andre Ribuoli www.ribuolidigital.com
