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.
