The Density Graph contains the following data:

Calibration name

Measured D-Max values for each separation

Target D-Max values for each separation

Minimum accepted density values for each separation (Xerox values)

View options: filtering by color - select which colors are shown/hidden

Calibration curves (target and measured) for each separation

ˆ

Target is displayed as bold lines

ˆ

Measured is displayed as thin lines

Index - emphasizes the difference between target lines and measured lines

Properties: paperweight, screening, paper coating

Printing a Job with a Calibration Table

Now that you have calibrated the paper you are going to use for printing, you can
select the calibration table to print any job on the same paper stock using the same
screen type.

You can print the reference job you printed before with the new calibration table to
evaluate the calibration results.

To print the reference job:

1.

In the Spire CX260 workspace, suspend the

Process Queue.

2.

Import the job.

3.

Double-click the job to open the Job Parameters window.

For more information about tabs in the Job Parameters window, see

Setting

Parameters in the Job Parameters Window on page 182.

4. On the

Paper Stock tab, select the desired paper stock.

5.

On the

Color tab, select the calibration you created for the particular stock from

which you printed.

6.

On the

Color tab, select the screening method you used for the selected

calibration.

7.

Set all other desired parameters, and then click

Save to close the Job

Parameters window.

8.

Activate the

Process Queue and Print Queue, and inspect the printed job.

If you see that the print out has any color imperfection, review the job parameter
settings and make changes if necessary. If there are still color imperfections,
perform machine maintenance and repeat the calibration process.

Note: When the density of the Xerox DocuColor 8000 digital press is
lower than 80% of the target density, the following message appears:

“Attention: Below standard D-Max value(s) measured for
. Standard (Minimum): - 1.5>, , ,
Measured: , , , ”.
