Hi Andre, averaging is always a good idea. I usually measure 6-10 Targets with basICColor catch pro/control, then I use the build in averaging feature to generate a first average. You can refine the result by using this data as a reference in the catch control feature to sort out the most erratic measurements. By using only the "best" datasets of your initial measurements you should get very good results... And maybe Karl can tell us something about the future ( just the future of catch ;-) Cheers Sebastian -- Sebastian Schroeder xkontor media solutions Phone +49 171 4133922 -- SEBASTIAN SCHROEDER // XKONTOR MEDIA SOLUTIONS FRIEDENSALLEE 52A // 22765 HAMBURG // MOBIL 0171. 41 33 922 SCHROEDER@XKONTOR.COM // FON 040. 30 39 18 61 // FAX -62 USt.-ID DE214706676 Am 19.09.2011 um 22:00 schrieb andre ribuoli:
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
