The basic files are NA.PS, FA.PS, TA.PS, MA.PS. They differ by small modifications only. The files FA.PS, TA.PS and MA.PS include after the default cmyn data of the series "10" and "11" (see about line 260 in file starting with: %CMYW4DFA.PS CMYWDEF4D=1) the model measurement data CMYW4DXA.PS (X=F, T, M). The model measurement data CMYW4DFA.PS include e. g. for the series w-n instead of the "linear data 1.000, 0.933, ... , 0.067, 0.000" the "square data 1.000 0.871, ..., 0.004 0.000". The different data are in the following table lines:

% Linear, square and square root data (16 and 5 steps)
% 1.000 0.933 0.867 0.800 0.733 0.667 0.600 0.533
% 0.467 0.400 0.333 0.267 0.200 0.133 0.067 0.000

% 1.000 0.866 0.707 0.500 0.000

All files NA.PS, FA.PS, TA.PS, MA.PS will reproduce the same series "10" at the top. The file NA.PS (N=No Linearization Method) will reproduce the "square output" in the series "11NA" at the bottom. In the files FA.PS, TA.PS, and MA.PS different Linearization Method methods (F=Function, T=Table, M=Measurement) are used to change the square output "11NA" at the bottom into the original output "10". Then the series "10" at the top and the series "11FA, 11TA, 11MA" at the bottom appear the same. The most simple method for colour measurement is to use a "square root function" to bring the "square function" of the series "11NA" back to the "linear function" of the series "10". This is realized in the file FA.PS.

The files CMYW4DXA.PS (X=F,T,M) include the square output data which are added after the default data. Three Linearization Method methods (F=Function, T=Table, M=Measurement) are defined in this file to change the "square data" of the series "11N" back to the "linear data" of the series "10". Of course the "square root function" (method F) is the most simple way to do this job and such a square root function is defined in CMYW4DFA.PS

There are two additional files and two additional corresponding data files for two additional Linearization Method methods:
1. FS.PS and CMYW4DFS.PS (S=Startup Linearization Method)
2. MD.PS and CMYW4DFD.PS (D=Device Linearization Method)
The files CMYW4DXY.PS (XY=FS, FD) are not added to the file (A) but stored in the Adobe Distiller "Startup" (S) directory or a PostSript Device (D) and the Linearization Method method takes the data from these locations.

One very effective method is to store the "model square data" in a PostSript device. Then a standard file looks for the "model square data" and a Linearization Method method (F, T, M) whitin this PostScript device. If they are present the corresponding Linearization Method method will be used. One possible way is to redefine the PostScript operators setgray, setcmykcolor and setrgbcolor within the device by using the CMYW4DFD.PS device data. Then every setcmykcolor output will be changed according to the CMYW4DFD.PS device data

Examples:
PS-output files NA.PS and FA.PS useful for a PS device only:
The file NA.PS (No Linearization Method) includes no output measurement data. The file NA.PS will produce an square model output in series "11N" compared to the series "10" on the PS device.
The file FA.PS (F=function Linearization Method) includes the square model output measurement data CMYW4DFA.PS. The file FA.PS will produce the same output in series "11FA" compared to the series "10" on the PS device.

PS-output file FDA.PS useful for a PS device only:
The file FDA.PS (F=Function, D=PS device) takes the output measurement data from the file CMYW4FDA.PS stored permanently in the PS device by a special command of the PostScript programming language. The file FDA.PS will produce the same output in series "11FDA" compared to the series "10" on the PS device.

Important remark: The file FD.PS will produce different output on different PS devices. If the corresponding different files CMYW4DFD.PS (resulting from measurement) are stored in the different corresponding PS devices by the same file name then the same (standard) file FD.PS will produce the intended equidistant output on any (!) of the different PS devices. No additional software is necessary (!) to produce from the (standard) file FD.PS the same output on different PS devices.

Remark: The examples here do not use individual transfer functions (e.. g. only square and not square root) of PS devices. Examples will be shown later by the URL:

DE06.HTM

PDF-output file FSP.PDF (produced from FSP.PS=FSA.PS) useful for a non PS device only:
The file FSP.PS (S=startup file) takes the output measurement data from the file CMYW4DFS.PS in the Adobe Acrobat Distiller Startup (S) directory. The file CMYW4DFS.PS includes the output measurement data of the file FSP.PDF used for the first output on a non PS device. The file FSP.PDF will produce the same output in series "11FSP" compared to the series "11" on a non PS device.

Remark: It is recommended to produce a copy of the Adobe Acrobat 3.0 directory with the name Adobe Acrobat 3.0_S (S=Startup) and to change the name of the Distiller 3.0 to Distiller 3.0_S. There is only one file Example.ps in this directory and CMYW4DFSP.PS must be added. The Distiller 3.0_S takes all the PS commands of both files every time when producing a PDF file from a PS file, here FSP.PDF from FSP.PS. (The original Distiller 3.0 takes still the PS commands from the directory Startup with only the file Example.ps as usual).

The is a possibility for Linearization Method using the PS file FA.PS via BMP, GIF, HTM_GIF, HTM_JPE, JPE, TIF. For this it is required to copy the file FA.PS (includes Linearization Method in the file) and to rename the copies to FB.PS, FG,PS, ..., FT.PS. Adobe Illustrator 8.0 was used to transfer to the files FA.BMP, FA.GIF, ..., FA.TIF. More information about the production and the properties of these files are given in

DE04.HTM

Therefore the following file names (only last 4 characters) include functional (F) Linearization Method (FA.PS->FA.TXT) (FB.PS->FB.BMP) (FG.PS->FG.GIF) (FH.PS->FH.HTM_GIF) (FI.PS->FI.HTM_JPE) (FJ.PS->FJ.JPE) (FP.PS->FP.PDF) (FT.PS->FT.TIF)

This output may be compared by the output of the files which include No (N) Linearization Method (NA.PS->NA.TXT) (NB.PS->NB.BMP) (NG.PS->NG.GIF) (NH.PS->NH.HTM_GIF) (NI.PS->nI.HTM_JPE) (NJ.PS->NJ.JPE) (NP.PS->NP.PDF) (NT.PS->NT.TIF)

The first line includes the c* data for the colour series cyanbluewhite. The m*, y* and n* data can be included in the next lines.
If the second PS array (/tzaccmyw1a) includes only data in one line then we have a one dimenional (1D) correction. There may be a 3D (cmy*) or 4D (cmyn*) correction to linearize the output more acurate. The calculation of the array data for the 3D and 4D linearization is under development.

One method for a 1D correction is described by

Remark: Only the series 8810 are realized up to now. The series 8820, ..., 8860 will be realized later.

Remark 1: The different file formats are computed here by the software Adobe Acrobat Illustrator 8.0 on Macintoshusing the original (hand coded) PostScript (PS) file format.

Remark 2: It is asumed that e. g. the public domain software GoScript and other software will give equivalent transformations of the file format PostScript (PS). There is a wish to get the different file formats also by hand coding in the different formats (like the original eps- or PS-program code). This has not been realized yet and is not important if the following remark is confirmed.

Remark 3: The linearized colour output (equal relative spacing in CIELAB) is independent of the file format (PS, PDF, BMP, GIF, HTM_GIF89, HTM_JPE, JPE, TIF) and the application software (Adobe Acrobat Illustrator , GoScript ) used. This statement must be confirmed for every file format and application software by colour measurement.

Remark 4: There is the user requirement to linearize the colour output only for a limited amount of file formats and application programs for his computer environement. Different file formats and application programs may give the same fist and second output. It is important to realize that the linearization is possible (on the second output) for every combination of file format and application program.
