To calibrate or not to calibrate that is the question

[john.marvin]

Hello Everyone

We are currently calibrating our plates using Harmony, but are using uncalibrated 1bit tiffs for our colorbars.

Is it better to run an uncalibrated or calibrated colorbar?

We would get more accurate print information from an uncalibrated colorbar?
correct?

Thanks

Which device are you using to Output?

I am curious also about this did you ever get any response or other information to confirm or deny this point??

We calibrate the whole sheet for 20 micron G7 printing. - Roger

We put 2. One is a 1bit tiff so it is always uncalibrated and another one which has shades so we can check what Hrmony did with 10, 20, 50%.
