Setting up a MPI proofer

Requirements:

• The proofer and a supported spectrophotometer must be set up, connected, and working properly.

1. Load the media on the proofer.
   Note the type of media. Much of the setup revolves around setting up the software specifically for the loaded media.
2. In Proofer Viewer, set the media type.
3. If applicable, use the printer front panel to align the inline spectrophotometer.
4. Obtain or create color content as needed for the proofer and media type—this includes the media configuration, ICC profiles, and (if using a certified process) color bars.
5. Use the spectrophotometer, Proofer Viewer, and media configuration to calibrate the proofer for the media.

Note: The Certified Process for Color Confirmation requires a current calibration for the proofer and media configuration. Calibrations expire after seven days. Otherwise, calibration is optional but recommended.
