Converting to the New Paper
To make new reference prints:
1. Load 4-inch Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Paper.
2. Change the aim: SETUP/PRINTER/MASTER/EDIT.
In the second screen, change the aim values to these new
values:
3. Change deltas to zero, as above: SETUP/PRINTER/
MASTER/EDIT. In the third screen, change all delta
values to zero.
4. Press TEST/PRINTER/EXPOSE. MEASURE/Ð,
UPDATE/Ð. Repeat the test until it passes.
5. Print the full “test film set” of negatives on the new
paper: SETUP/PRINTER/PAPER/FULL PAPER
TEST/EXPOSE. Make sure the paper channel with “**”
is highlighted; this designates the master channel.
6. Read all the prints in the same order in which they were
exposed: MEASURE.
7. If the test is “Not OK,” repeat Steps 5 and 6.
Make some test prints from customer negatives. If you
need to customize production, start by entering the delta
values you noted previously for Edge 7/ROYAL VII Paper
production. Then adjust those values (SETUP/PRINTER/
MASTER/EDIT, screen 3) based on visual assessment.
To track other paper widths with the 4-inch reference
paper:
1. Select the paper channel that will convert to Edge 8/
ROYAL VIII Paper.
2. To track with the “reference paper,” press SETUP/
PRINTER/PAPER/EDIT; scroll down to screen 2.
“Reference Paper” should show “4" Gloss.” If it does
not, press the “Reference Paper” button and select
“4" paper.” Confirm with Ð.
If you are not converting all paper widths to
EKTACOLOR Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Paper at one time:
1. Load the paper size that will continue to use Edge 7/
ROYAL VII Paper.
2. Run a paper balance test: TEST/ PAPER/ EMULSION/
EXPOSE. Repeat this test until it passes.
Note: These test patches will appear pink, not neutral.
This is correct.

3. Enter the manual delta correction values below: SETUP/
PRINTER/PAPER/EDIT. Highlight the paper size to be
edited.
Note: When entering deltas, note that 1.0 is equivalent to
10 color buttons, i.e., 0.1 = 1 color button.
Make test prints from customer negatives. If you need to
customize production, adjust the delta values (SETUP/
PRINTER/PAPER/EDIT) based on visual assessment.
