This procedure will enable you to apply ChromaChecker Tone Reproduction Curves Adjustment files (TRCA) into Fuji XMF RIP.

Depending on the version of the Fuji XMF RIP installed, two systems of curves management can be used. The older one, named Calibration Manager, is essentially used to linearize CTP and its successor ColorPath. The organizer can manage press curves, ICC profiles… Procedures for both software will be presented below, but when possible, prefer the use of ColorPath Organizer.

ColorPath Organizer procedure

Prerequisite

• Set ChromaChecker Capture settings to export TRCA in FUJI XMF file format, in Admin > Queue Setting > Device Adjustment > Calibration > Export File Format field
• Make sure ChromaChecker has generated a .csv file in the TRCA export folder, once your first click on Build TRCA button in Admin > Monitoring -> Device Adjustment > TRCA tab
• Make sure your CTP is linearized.

• In the Fuji XMF html interface, select the Color Path Organizer:
  
• The following window will be displayed. Click on Characterization tab, then click on Create button:
  
  
   
• Fill the curve name, then click on Enter curves data:
   
  
  
  
• In the Characterization Curve Creation, click on the Adjustment Mode, then work only on the Aim tab. Select the Load Curve button:

• Don’t forget to click Applied on Rip, in ChromaChecker, once you successfully created the curves in Fuji XMF. By doing this, ChromaChecker knows that this new TRCA has been updated in XMF and applied on new measurements of next jobs color bar.

Calibration Manager procedure

• Set ChromaChecker queue settings to export TRCA in FUJI XMF file format
• Make sure ChromaChecker has generated a .csv file
