Example of a OneRun target, containing the IT8 target with the P2P

The OneRun target, in combination with Curve2’s VPR (Virtual Press Run) module, makes it possible to calibrate a printer to G7, using multiple papers, and make profiles for the printer - all in one press run. The beauty here is that you only have to print one target, on one press run to do all this. Press calibration and profiling can’t get much easier than this! The OneRun feature is included in all versions of Curve2 starting with version 2.1.

This is how it works: To save on space, time and reduce measurement error we’ve created new, hybrid targets that combine the P2P target with IT8 and other profiling targets. Redundant patches have been removed and the resulting target is smaller and easier to place on a variety of printing forms. Your measurements of this single target, printed on all your papers, are fed into Curve2.1. The software extracts the individual targets from the OneRun target using the P2P patches for curve calculation and the IT8 patches for VPR curving. All of your papers + one target = OneRun. Other OneRun targets incorporating alternate profiling targets will also be available.

Here are the steps to this process:

Use your saved IT8 measurement file in VPR

When it comes time to implement Virtual Press Run (VPR), you merely browse to the location where you saved the IT8 on your hard disc.
