You can call up this dialog in all main functions with the "Tools > Process parameters" menu. The function is enabled only if "Setup of the process parameters and save in measurement data and ICC profile" is checked (default) in the 'Preferences' Dialog ("General" tab).
You can define the printing process parameters (data about output device, paper grade, process color, screening and plate) in this dialog. The process parameters are saved in the color data file or the ICC profile.
Click "Store" to display the 'Store parameter set' Dialog where you can save your current process parameters to a parameter file you name. These settings are then available for other color data files/ICC profiles, making it unnecessary to retype the parameters. You can, of course, make changes to them at any time.
Click "Load" to display the 'Load parameter set' Dialog where you can select and open a parameter set with saved process parameters.
Click "OK" to confirm your process parameter setup and close the dialog. The process parameters are also saved in the color data file or the ICC profile.
Click "Cancel" to close the dialog and discard any changes to it. The last setting is restored.
Process parameter settings
You can select the process parameters in list boxes that have defaults based on the current ICC specification (e.g. output process, paper grade, process standard). Some items are in the process of being approved for future ICC specifications.
Type more details in the text boxes (e.g. manufacturer).
The process parameters are also saved in the data file or the profile. However, they do not change the color conversions in the profile or influence processing by certain CMMs.
The items are of a purely informative nature and are only for the record. They are displayed in the profile browser during profile selection (you can configure the display as required) and help you select and sort different ICC profiles.
Note: You can enable/disable how the process parameters will be saved ("Setup of the process parameters and save in measurement data and ICC profile") in the "Preferences > General" dialog. You cannot call up the "Process parameters" dialog in the "Measure" and "Create" main functions if the option is disabled. The button and menu are then disabled (dimmed). It's also not possible to edit the process parameters in the "Edit" main function.
