Step 1: Measure one of the two CMYK charts bellow as spectral data for MagicPress application. First chart is OK for setting your solid inks densities matching any ISO12647-2-3-4-6 standard andcontrolling your superimpositions. We recommend using the second chart if you want to create yourown CMYK standard, because its CMYK% patches allow you monitoring the CMYK print contrasts while

you increase your solidCMYK inks densities.
