Andre, X-Rite had a application called ToolCrib that allowed measuring arbitrary targets and saving the output in various formats. You could measure the target several times and average in MeasureTool or another application. Measuretool supports weighted averaging in demo mode, useful to reduce the influence of outlier measurements. I recommend measuring the target multiple times, because you are trying to compensate for ink density differences across the patch area. Simply reading a single area multiple times won't help here. Cheers, Ethan
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
