The software uses the measurements from the Single Channel Ink Limit chart to compute initial gamut statistics.  It compares the results to historical data for each Usage Type, and computes a "PassPASS" or "Warning" answer. A pass indicates that initial data looks good for this media configuration, so it is recommended to continue.  If a "Warning" is computed, it is recommended to take a few minutes to make sure you have selected the right components in this media configuration.  see questions below.


Estimated Media Config parameters:

eminL* = Estimated Minimum L*,

eMYC* = Estimated Maximum Saturation of the MY (Magenta-Yellow) overprint,

eCYC* = Estimated Maximum Saturation of the CY (Cyan-Yellow) overprint, 

eCMC* = Estimated Maximum Saturation of the CM (Cyan-Magenta) overprint,

maxa* = Estimated Maximum a*, with the max percentage value following,

maxb* = Estimated Maximum b*, with the max percentage value following, 

emina* = Estimated Minimum a*, 

eminb* = Estimated Minimum b*, with the min percentage value following,
