Start and linearized printer output of the ISO/IEC-test chart no. 4 (Series W - OLVN, printer range)
according to ISO/IEC 15775:1999-12
There are at least three different methods to linearize the printer output:
1. By Linearization Method data (CIELAB data and PS code) in the PS file (F)
2. By colour manangement data in the Distiller Startup (S) directory
3. By Linearization Method data in the PostScript device (D) memory
Remark 1: The output result produced is the same for the three methods, see the URL DE09
Remark 2: The file names and tables in this directory include only files for No and File Linearization Method (N and F).

For similar Methods to produce a start and linearized output for a single Figure or many Figures of the ISO/IEC-test charts or the complete ISO/IEC-test charts, see DE00

There are three steps S1, S2, and S3 recommended here:
Step S1: Start output of the four 16step colour series W ­OLVN between the colour white W (paper white) and the four colours OLVN(C=M=Y).
Remark: The output measurement data are used to produce the linearized output. For linearization the CIELAB data of the four 16step colour series W ­ CMYN (4 x 16 x 3 data) of step S1 are necessary and must be included in the file of step S2.
Step S2: linearized output of the four 16step colour series which are approximately equidistant in CIELAB colour space.
Step S3: Specification of the reproduction properties of the start output and the linearized output according to the method given in Annex G of DIN 33866-1:2000-08 and ISO/IEC 15775:1999-12.

Short description of the method using the PS output method for the device T:
1. The file A/DE11/10T/T10E00NA.PS is used to produce the start PS ouput on a PS printer.
2. The four 16step colour series of the output NA are measured in the sequence F to 0 (from the colour to the white).
3. The four 16step CIELAB colour data of the output NA are included in the file FA.
4. The file A/DE11/10T/T10E00FA.PS is used to produce the linearized PS ouput on a PS printer.
5. The four 16step colour series of the output FA are measured in the sequence F to 0 (from the colour to the white).
6. The four 16step CIELAB colour data of the output NA (step S1) and FA (step S2) are included in the file RA (R=result).

Remark: For a start and linearized PDF output on any printer (instead of the PS output on a PS printer) the software Adobe Acrobat Distiller or an equivalent is necessary. The software is used to produce PDF files from the PS files.

1. Output linearization of the achromatic ISO/IEC-test chart no. 2

If the start printer output of the ISO/IEC-test chart fails to pass some of the ISO/IEC-tests according to ISO/IEC 15775, e. g. to recognize the 16 steps of the 16step colour series or all the Landolt -rings, then there is the intention for an linearized printer output. The following URL shows examples for the specification of the reproduction properties of the start output and the linearized output according to the method given in Annex G of DIN 33866-1:2000-08 and ISO/IEC 15775:1999-12.

Remark 1: The accuracy of the ISO/IEC-Test chart output is described in DE10

Remark 2: An important exercise in four steps which is recommended for visual linearization of the output and which may be used for any printer, monitor or a video-beamer is given four a black and white printer by the URL DE09.
