You can measure a chart for immediate export of measurement data to the file system. The measurement is not stored by ColorFlow or associated with any device condition or color output verification.

Before measuring a chart, you must export the chart from ColorFlow, print it, and allow sheets to dry so that color stabilizes. For inkjet printing technologies, wait at least 30 minutes before measuring a printed chart.

  1. Select View > Charts. In Measure Edition, this is the only view.
  2. In the Process Ink Set list, select the process inks of the chart.
  3. Select the chart you would like to measure and click Measure.
  4. Follow the measurement wizard to measure the chart.
  5. Browse to the location where you want to save the measurement data set and click Save.
    The measurement data set is saved as a .cgt file, in CGATS.5 format.
    1. If you have measured multiple measurement conditions supported by your device, each measurement condition is saved to a separate file. 
    2. If you have measured multiple sheets, each sheet measurement is saved to a separate file.
