Can SpotOn read P2P targets??

[dschroter]

I am trying to create new curves for my press. I have the SpotOn control software with the Eye-One reader. Is it possible to read the P2P target data in all at once or do I have to read each sample separately?? Any clue?

SpotOn! can absolutely measure the P2P25 target......although that would be a bit cumbersome if you're trying to chase a press in real time.....better to use the standard SpotOn! color bar if you're doing this "live" while the press is running.

The 2nd part of your question....not sure I understand. If you're measuring directly in SO!, you can measure multiple targets and it will average them on-the-fly until you hit "OK" to save them.

If you're doing all this post-press run, it might be more convenient measure the P2P targets in either Measure Tool or ColorPort and then save/average the data there and then simply import the data into SO!.

...and just to be clear, SO! is not going help you create new curves for your press; for that you need the IDEALink Curve software or some other curve creation tool. SO! simply determines where you're at relative to the target colorimetry you've chosen and where you're at relative to G7 metrics....it really isn't going to offer any corrective action.
