Controlling an RGB Mediawedge range

The Print Control module allows you to monitor the stability of your RGB prints to guarantee your customers consistency in printed reproduction, but also to anticipate technical problems.

By default, we offer an RGB Mediawedge type range of 72 patches, but it is also possible to customize your range with the "Color table" module.

Importing a Print Control .pctrl file

In the chapter "Creating a reference from a printed RGB gamut" we have created a .pctrl file containing the information necessary to check your prints.
The first step will therefore be to import this file.

For more information, see the chapter: Creating a reference from a printed RGB MediaWedge

Measure the range

The procedure for measuring an RGB gamut is identical to that of a CMYK gamut
For more details, we invite you to read the chapter: Checking a standardized CMYK Mediawedge gamut

For more information, see the chapter: Controlling a CMYK Mediawedge range

When the range measurement is finished, the report is displayed.
A history of controls is saved in the "Print Control .pctrl" file and appears in the right column when the Print Control file is selected in the left column.

Each new control is added to the history of the .pctrl file.
The measurements and the results of the control are stored in the file.
