Every output device may have a certain discrepancy between the desired result and the actual result. This discrepancy is caused by dot gain. To compensate for this discrepancy, you need to calibrate your output device using the Curve Editor. Here, Apogee calculates a dot gain compensation curve so that your output device produces the desired results. The resulting curve may be irregular to produce the desired dot gain.

In Apogee, Calibration is only used for the press. For imagesetters and platesetters, Apogee uses Linearization.

The Calibration Curves Resource category is available for the Press and Generic Press Task Processors.
