The Printer Calibration XTension lets you compensate for the spreading and bleeding of halftone dots on any printer you use with QuarkXPress 3.3.
You can edit calibration settings to something you are more satisfied with and export them to a server for others to use. You can also import stored settings from a server. Users will not need to re-enter settings each time they print.
You will need a densitometer to make use of this feature:
• for outputting to paper, use a reflection densitometer
• for outputting to film, use a transmission densitometer.
NOTE: This documentation is aimed at those who know and fully understand high-end printing. It will not teach you the more advanced concepts involved in the process — only how to use this XTension.
