You can measure color patches on a page using the Barbieri Spectropad
cordless spectrophotometer.
- Connect the Spectropad to your computer and turn
on the Spectropad.
- Calibrate the Spectropad if instructed to do so.
- To learn about the Spectropad, see the
documentation that accompanies the instrument.
When a page has been successfully measured, you
can check the measurements. If any measurements are not as expected, you can remeasure a row.
- Place the patch page on a smooth, even
surface.
-
Place Spectropad on the page and use the red lasers to align the measuring head in the center
of the first row.
Rows are measured beginning from the bottom row and proceeding up.
- Slide the measuring head to the white space at
either end of the row.
- Slide the measuring head along the row of
patches at an acceptable speed as shown by the speed indicator on the Spectropad screen.
The Spectropad beeps and displays a message when the row has been measured.
- After you successfully measure one row of
patches, move the Spectropad to the next row indicated on the Spectropad screen.
- Continue to measure the remaining rows in the
same manner until you have measured all patches on the page.
- Continue to measure the remaining patch pages (if any)
in the same manner until you have measured all patch pages.
- After you measure the last page, click Next.
