Certifying a printer in AccuRIP Emerald

Certifying a printer in AccuRIP Emerald is a simple process. Follow the steps below to complete the certification successfully. 

Step 1: Access the Certification Menu.
Open AccuRIP Emerald and navigate to the "FILE" menu at the top of the screen. 

Step 2: Select "Certify Printer"
From the dropdown menu, click on "Certify Printer" to access the printer certification options. 

Step 3: Choose the Printer Model in the certification window. 
Select the printer model to certify from the provided dropdown list. 

Step 4: Select either Select Tank or ABI Option.
Choose “Select Tank” to configure settings for printing via the CMYK tanks primarily or the “ABI” option to print from all tanks, depending on your preferences and requirements for the certification. Click "OK" to proceed. 

Step 5: Configure OEM Print Settings. 
An OEM print window will appear, configure the settings to be certified for printing via AccuRIP Emerald.
• For ABI settings: As a starting point, for optimal results, select a photo paper type setting. Some wide format printers will require media types such as Enhanced Matte.
• For Select Tank settings: As a starting point, choose a photo paper type setting.

Step 6: Adjust Printer Settings (Desktop vs. Wide Format)
• Desktop Printers: Enable the high-speed option (sometimes called bidirectional printing) for faster printing. 
• Wide Format Printers: For the best print results, leave the high-speed option (sometimes called bidirectional printing) turned off. 

Step 7: Adjust Color Settings
• Select Tank: If Select Tank is desired select “No Color Management” or “No Color Adjustment”
• ABI: If ABI is desired select Standard or Vivid then within the deeper color settings minimize brightness, and maximize Contrast and Saturation.

Step 8: Optional: Adjust Ink Density (Wide Format Printers)
• Some wide format printer drivers offer an Extended Setting to control ink density, similar to adjusting Droplet Weight.
• Typically, with high-quality inks like Dmax®, adjusting this setting from "0" is not necessary.
• If you desire more ink laydown, you can increase this number accordingly.

Step 9: Save and Confirm Certification.
Once all the desired settings are configured, it's time to save the changes and complete the certification process.
• On Mac: Click the "PRINT" button.
• On Windows: Click "OK".

A window will appear, confirming that the print settings have been saved successfully. This confirmation indicates that the certified bin file with the selected settings has been created. 

Congratulations! You have now successfully certified your printer in AccuRIP Emerald. 

Note: It's important to ensure that the printer remains connected and properly configured for AccuRIP Emerald to utilize the certified settings effectively.
