Read ICC Profile Swatch
The Read ICC Swatch button (Figure 1) has three functions: Click the [Read Swatch] button to open the Read Swatch dialog. Click the down arrow and select [Import Readings] (Figure 1) This opens “Open” dialog. Click the down arrow and select [View Readings] (Figure 1) This opens “View Readings” dialog. Read Swatch (Figure 2) Measurements - The [Measurements] section displays the expected and measured readings with Lab* values of the measured data for each patch. Mode - Some color sampling devices function in strip, or patch mode. This allows one to switch between the modes. This option is useful, if for example there are read errors while reading in strip mode. Simply click [Pause] button, switch the Mode to Patch and click the [Redo Patch] button to re-read the problem patch. Pause/Resume- This button allows the read process to temporarily be put on hold, making it possible to re-read patches, or strips that may have erroneous readings. Redo Patch/Strip - When erroneous readings occur, this button allows one to re-read a patch, series of patches, or an entire strip. Strip/Patch This section indicates which passes are being read. Instructions/Status - This section provides instruction for and status of swatch readings. Import Readings (Figure 1) - This opens “Open” dialog. This option allows importing existing ICC measure data (.spec files). View Readings (Figure 1) - This opens “View Readings” dialog. Channel Volume % - This option displays sample point of a highlighted patches approximate channel volume. Plot Readings (Figure 3). - The "Plot Readings" dialog is an advanced tool for viewing various characteristics of single, or multiple patches (Shift + Click to highlight multiple readings). Measurements can be plotted as Colorimetric data (Lab, Lch), or as Spectral data. Export - [Export] allows measurement data to be saved as a ".spec" file.	Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3

An international standard for describing color transformations. Also known as ICM (.icm). See also Color Closed

The attribute of visual experience that can be described using the dimensions of Hue Closed

1. A tint or color specified by an angle on the HSV Color Wheel. Going counter-clockwise around the wheel, hues shift from red to yellow to green to cyan to blue to magenta and finally back to red. 2. The attribute of a color that permits it to be identified as a specific color. Hue combined with Saturation and Value fully defines a color., Saturation, and Brightness. Profile Closed

1. A method of defining and compensating for the color shifts in an image as it is shown on a monitor and printed on a media. 2. A specific Printer/Ink/Media Closed

A paper or other substrate that the printer creates images on. combination in RIP-Queue. and Profile Library. Swatch Closed

Standard print image used by RIP-Queue for profile generation. A swatch contains multiple patches.

Measurements - The [Measurements] section displays the expected and measured readings with L*a*b* values of the measured data for each patch.

Mode - Some color sampling devices function in strip, or patch mode. This allows one to switch between the modes. This option is useful, if for example there are read errors while reading in strip mode. Simply click [Pause] button, switch the Mode to Patch Closed and click the [Redo Patch] button to re-read the problem patch.

Pause/Resume- This button allows the read process to temporarily be put on hold, making it possible to re-read patches, or strips that may have erroneous readings.

Redo Patch/Strip - When erroneous readings occur, this button allows one to re-read a patch, series of patches, or an entire strip. Strip/Patch This section indicates which passes are being read.

Instructions/Status - This section provides instruction for and status of swatch readings.

Import Readings (Figure 1) - This opens “Open” dialog. This option allows importing existing ICC measure data (.spec files).

View Readings (Figure 1) - This opens “View Readings” dialog.

Channel Volume % - This option displays sample point of a highlighted patches approximate channel volume.

Plot Readings (Figure 3). - The "Plot Readings" dialog is an advanced tool for viewing various characteristics of single, or multiple patches (Shift + Click to highlight multiple readings). Measurements can be plotted as Colorimetric data (L*a*b*, L*c*h*), or as Spectral data.

Export - [Export] allows measurement data to be saved as a ".spec" file.
