Click on the "Print Control" icon located at the top left
Then click on the "Create a reference" button
Select the CMYK color space
The list of standardized ranges appears
To help you find your reference range, write the name of the standard you want to control in the search bar. Then select the type of range you want to control.
Click on the "Use norm's Lab" button to associate the Lab reference values corresponding to the selected standard.
A preview of the range is displayed and it is possible to customize the pattern format using the "Edit target format" tools.
If your test chart is not already printed, you can export it in Tiff or pdf format to print it. Click the "Next" button to continue.
In the information window, only the name of the setting is mandatory. All other information is optional.
After clicking on the "Save and Exit" button, the "Print Control .pctrl" file is displayed in the left column.
You can now start the measurement of the range or export the file to save it by right-clicking on the Print Control file.
The next step is to check your proofs to make sure they meet the standard. To do this, we invite you to go to the chapter "Control of a standardized range"
