Hey folks,

Any guidance on where to put a press G7 curve in XMF? I found the Calibrate lin app on the server but not sure about where to put the press curve. I did try on the client to do a G7 correction in "actual" on the client app, but that did not work. I measured the plates and I did not get the reduction expected in the correction curve.

TIA

Hi Dan,

I can help with that but, a TeamViewer will be necessary. XMF and Xitron Sierra are a little more step by step oriented in the way the curve is applied and implemented in the templates.

Let me know if you’d like to set this up.

Best regards,
Steve Henry

Thanks for the replies. I did enter the curve correction in the actual section of Characterization tab of ColorPath Organizer. Then associated with a new media I created. 

When I measured the plates I didn't see the correction expected based on my curve. This is why I was questioning if I am missing something. Fuji support struggled to find someone on staff who knew how to apply G7 correction curves. Many phone calls to different people were required as no one knew. That concerns me.

Do you have ColorPath Organizer? You enter the curves into the Characterization Tab. Then they have to be applied to the media, which is attached to the Press Device.

Excellent! Thanks Don.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing the PDF.

Hi Dan

Here is the XMF plate pdf on how to input plate curves. We normally use the raw plate as the starting point and call it linear. Build the curves and input in target area. (see attached)

Hope this helps.
