4. Taking care of the target The calibration target is very delicate and must be handled carefully Make sure you follow these rules in caring for the target e Gently take the target out of its protective sleeve e Do not touch the target image with your fingers or with any other object e When not in use keep the target out of light even interior lighting e Always return the target to its protective sleeve immediately after use e Store the target away from light in a cool dry place since long exposure to heat and light can change the colors on the target 4 Replacing the target With proper care your target should hold its original colors for about a year or so starting from the date of use After that it will begin to fade as is the nature of most photographic materials The change may be unnoticeable to the naked eye but even very slight changes in the target decrease the performance of the Scanner ICC Profiler To maintain color accuracy Artix recommends that you replace the target once a year or when you notice a loss of image quality in your scanned images ArtixScan 1100 Hardware User s Guide 25 5 Installing the Scanner ICC Profiler Note The Scanner ICC Profiler program should have been installed at the time you performed software installation procedures discussed earlier in the manual If for some reason you have not installed the Scanner ICC Profiler follow the steps below to install t
