Overview of Averaging Data Curves
•Case 1 "separate calibration" (recommended!), for CMYK or subsets (CMY, CM, etc.):
You can average as many as three data curves for every color. A calibration curve results for every color. Notation "CMYK".
•Case 2 "indiscrete calibration", for CMYK or subsets (CMY, CM, etc.):
All the data curves are averaged. One calibration curve results that will be used for all the process colors. Notation "CMYK(CMY)".

Colors |
Max. three data curves per color |
Case 1: Averaging based on curves of one color |
Case 2: Averaging based on curves of all colors |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Cyan |
M1 M2 M3 |
M1 thru M3 averaged => Calibration curve for cyan |
M1 thru M9 averaged => One calibration curve for all process colors |
|
Magenta |
M4 M5 M6 |
M4 thru M6 averaged => Calibration curve for magenta |
|
|
Yellow |
M7 M8 M9 |
M7 thru M9 averaged => Calibration curve for yellow |
|
|
Black |
M10 M11 M12 |
M10 thru M12 averaged => Calibration curve for black |
|
|
Spot color |
M1 M2 M3 |
M1 thru M3 averaged => Calibration curve for this spot color |
