10.4.4 Check viewing booth

For a comparison of a proof and a soft proof, the viewing booth should
have an illuminance value of 500 ± 125 lux and a color temperature of
D50.
Again, attach the ambient light head to the instrument and hold the
instrument towards the back wall of your viewing booth. Make sure
the background is a neutral gray. In doubt use a gray card that has no
metameric failure, like the basICColor gray card.
In the measure window, you'll see the measurement values updated
with each measurement. Thus you can adjust your ambient light or
viewing booth until the required values have been reached.
Click <Done> and then <Close> when you want to stop measuring.
The achieved values will be displayed next to the reference values so
that you can compare the results.
