Status T?
Status G? Whatever it Takes!
(pssstwhats Status G or T?)
If you know anything about densitometry, and you know where the HP Indigo presses are built you know that its the Status T setting on the X-Rite 500 Series
densitometer.
HP Indigo presses conform to a COMMON EUROPEAN standard for densitometry Status G.
There is NO DIFFERENCE between the North American standard and the European standard in CYAN, MAGENTA and BLACK. But, there is a dierence in YELLOW. The
EXACT same color patch in Status T registers a dierent density value in Status G.
Why does this matter? Unless you have the brand new HP Indigo 7600 Digital Press which uses internal tile plates to calibrate the inline densitometer you have to
calibrate the INLINE densitometer with a HANDHELD densitometer set to the right color mode, OR YOU WILL INDUCE ERRORS INTO YOUR YELLOW READINGS. This will
cause diculties in keeping your color calibration in line over time (specically in the yellow this shouldnt cause any issue to the other colors).
Thats it! Recalibrate your inline densitometer with your correctly congured handheld, and you should be all set to go!
Keep in mind, this procedure should be redone every month, or so, based on densitometer manufacturers standard recommendations.
