Calibrating the DTP41

For the best color accuracy, calibrate the X-Rite DTP41 spectrophotometer every time
you calibrate the GA-1121. You can initiate the calibration sequence in ColorWise Pro
Tools Calibrator as part of the process of GA-1121 calibration. The computer may also
prompt you that it is necessary to calibrate the spectrophotometer.

Alternatively, you can initiate the DTP41 calibration process using the Instrument
button on the DTP41. For more information on this method, see the documentation
that came with the X-Rite DTP41.
