When printing 'Custom Patch Targets' (paper + ink + printer) the recommendation is to set interpolation to "Vector" with a "Recall job" for that matter.

1. Why is it not to turn the interpolation to "OFF" ?
2. Don’t we need to measure the RAW data without any intervention of any kind?
3. If the actual prints will be printed with "Fusion" there will be a difference in the outcome, no?

Hi Rani
My take on your questions ...
Quote
Why is it not to turn the interpolation to "OFF" ?
Because the target print may not match the printer native resolution. Vector is a basic interpolation method and will ensure adequate quality of the print.

Whatever, the driver will "interfere" with the data for printing that's why you calibrate.

The interpolation method is not related to colour accuracy after calibration.

I can assure you, the job "{Q} printer target setup.job" works!

thank you Terry, I appreciate your reply!
No worries, I know the "{Q} printer target setup.job" works great Wink
Just wondering about things. I like to understand as much as I can of all aspects of the printing process.
