Creating a Density File for Use with Calibration

During calibration, you have the option of obtaining density data from a file or by
scanning a processed test target through an X-RITE DTP 36 densitometer. The
option is determined by the entry in the device configuration file. If the
configuration file is set up to receive density data from a file and you are creating
the file:

1.

Scan the print into your densitometer.

2. Save the data to file using the density data file format specification (see

“File

Formats”

below). The Kodak Device Calibration Software does not perform

this function.

3. Move the density data file that you just saved to the “Dens” folder within the

device folder for your specific device. The filename should match the Density
Source File selected on the Density Source tab of the Edit Configuration
window (see

“Editing Information on the Density Source Tab” on page 3-28

).

File Formats

NOTE: If a file contains data in a tabular format, each entry may be separated by

multiple spaces and tabs; however, when the file is saved by the application,
each group of multiple spaces and tabs is automatically converted to a
single tab.
