16. Calibration Why Is Calibration Necessary In order to compensate for dot gain and produce consistent output a platesetter must be calibrated for linearity An platesetter is linear when every tone specified in the input gives that same tone in the output so that the curve comparing input and output is a straight line In four color work even small deviations from a linear curve can cause significant errors in the colors produced for example changes in color balance and contrast loss of brightness and loss of highlight or shadow detail Even if the platesetter is very accurate the output will still be affected by gt Ny u SS head i a T D usl 600 Chapter 9 Calibration the type and brand of media used so its calibration should be regularly checked As a result of the way DPX 2 moderates its exposures it is recommended that you sweep from 200 to 1200 at steps of 200 As illustrated below the light intensity response is notched at intervals of 200 and to achieve optimum dynamic range you should use a setting near the top of one of the notches By creating a sweep in steps of 200 that starts at 200 you will be testing at the top of each notch Calibration is described in the RIP s user documentation 800 1000 1200 Exposure Setting Light response of DPX 4 exposure settings 555 Theodore Fremd Ave Rye NY 10580 914 925 3261 http techsu Page 9 1 Mitsubishi Imaging MPM
