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,
