Using ColorBeat 

Note: This requires “Administrative” Privileges to access the Marketplace.

If the standard is in PrintOS, run the Color Beat wizard using the Company Standard before running production and immediately after a color calibration on the appropriate stock.

Two Steps:

• Ensure “Company” Standard is uploaded to the PrintOS Color Beat settings page in the client account.
• The operator chooses the ”Company” Standard when performing the Color Beat wizard. If you want to use a different standard simply change the desired standard in the wizard at the press.

The JSON identifies the ChromaChecker account name for sharing of information The file must be installed by the local print OS administrator through the print OS website under print beat and options located by the gear icon. Go to the tab for color and add a custom standard.

Note: The HP Indigo sets the Device Front End (DFE) and ColorBeat standard. This can be either GRACol, ISO, or Indigo. It’s important that these match since ColorBeat will report based on the standard selected. An example mismatch may be If the DFE is set to Indigo Standard and ColorBeat is set to GRACol, the score will be invalid.
