Building a Scanner Profile

for Transparencies

To scan transparencies, you need to use a different

profile from the one you use for reflective copy

such as photographic prints. This section provides

step-by-step instructions for building a scanner

transparency profile.

First, you'll scan the transparency target included

with MonacoEZcolor using SilverFast, then you'll

load the scan into MonacoEZcolor and build the

profile.

Locate the 4x5 transparency IT8.7/1 target

included in the MonacoEZcolor package, and load

it in your scanner's 4x5 film holder. The target

must be loaded face-down in the holder ("wrong-

reading" or mirror-image as viewed from above).

Handle the target carefully by its edges to avoid

getting fingerprints or smudges on the color

patches.

Then place the holder on the scanner glass, with

the large arrow on the holder pointing to the right

rear of the scanner glass. Then close the lid.

To build a transparency profile, you must use

special settings in SilverFast, similar to those used

in building the reflective profile. You must scan

the profiling target with all color management and

color correction features turned off, following the

instructions in this section.

Launch the standalone SilverFast

application. You'll be prompted to import

the SilverFast (Epson) plug-in, as shown.

You can find the plug-in inside the

SilverFast application folder.

Note: Your scanner must be connected to

your computer and turned on before you can

successfully import the scanner plug-in.

Before you scan the target, you need to

make sure that SilverFast is configured

correctly for the profile scan.

On the main SilverFast screen, click the

General tab, and make sure the Scan Mode

is set to Normal (File), Original is set to

Transparency, and Pos./Neg. is set to

Positive, as shown:
