Verifying Control Strips in GMG ProofControl

The following shows you how to select a control strip in GMG ColorProof, measure the strip in GMG ProofControl with an i1 measuring device and print a verification label.

How to verify a GMG ColorProof proof job with an X-Rite i1:

1. Create a job in GMG ColorProof.
    
2. Job > Label/Strips > Job Control Strips / Image Control Strips: Select a Control Strip.
    
3. From the Measuring Device list, select i1.
    
4. Under Control Strip Type, select the control strip you want to use.
    
5. Under Position, determine where to place the strip.
    
6. Print the job.
   GMG ColorProof prints the job with the control strip. The job is automatically exported to the defined GMG ProofControl hotfolder and displayed in the main view in the Jobs list.
    
7. Switch to GMG ProofControl and select the measurement job in the Jobs list.
    
8. Measure the patches of the printed control strip with the connected measuring device.
   After a successful measurement, all color patches are visualized and the measured values are displayed in the Verification Results area.
    
9. Click the Save button on the toolbar to save the measured values to the database.
   (All measurement data can be loaded again by clicking on the corresponding job in the History list.)
