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 "PASS" 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 CIE L*,

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

...

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

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

emina* = Estimated Minimum CIE a*, 

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

estGamutVDiff = Estimated Gamut Volume Difference from Selected Target Profile.


Target Profile parameters:

PminL* = actual Profile Minimum CIE L* value,

pMYC* = actual Profile Maximum Magenta-Yellow overprint CIE C* value, 

pCYC* = actual Profile Maximum Cyan-Yellow overprint CIE C* value),

pCMC* = actual Profile Maximum Cyan-Magenta overprint CIE C* value), 

Pmaxa* = actual Profile Maximum CIE a* value), 

Pmaxb* = actual Profile Maximum CIE b* value), 

Pmina* = actual Profile Minimum CIE a* value42), 

Pminb* = actual Profile Minimum CIE b* value),

estProfGamutVolumeDiff = Estimated Gamut Volume Difference from Selected Target Profile), 

estSpotGVolumeDiff = Estimated Gamut Volume Difference from a Spot Color Gamut Volume.

Target Profile Results: (PminL*: 8.06), (pMYC*: 83.9), (pCYC*: 72.84), (pCMC*: 49.25), (Pmaxa*: 74.12), (Pmaxb*: 93.16), (Pmina*: -68.42), (Pminb*: -46.15), (estProfGamutVolumeDiff: 1019469), (estSpotGVolumeDiff: 147626)


Example of Information displayed with a "Warning" (you must scroll down to see all of the information):

*** WARNING *** Estimated Gamut results not suitable for chosen Target Profile and Usage: Spot Colors (Largest Color Gamut).
