3. Press ZERO to indicate yes, you do want to set mode. ↓ I/O Y
appears in the display.
4. Press FUNCTION three times to advance the mode selection
until ←N=1.00 appears.
5. Here is where you change the “n” factor to prompt Yule-Nielson
mode.
Hold down the ZERO (ts) button, then press the
FUNCTION (t) or ENTER (s)button to adjust the value until
the desired value is shown.
The following table lists the approximate value you should set
as the “n” factor when using Yule-Nielson mode to measure ink
on various materials:
Material “n” Factor
Uncoated Paper 2.7
Coated Paper 1.6-1.7
3M Transfer Key 1.9
DuPont Cromalin 2.6
3M Color Key 4.0
Agfa-Gevaert Gevaproof 1.4
Newsprint 2.5
TIP: If you need to move the value up or down by a large
amount, hold the arrow buttons down. The numbers will
advance faster as you hold it down.
To return to Murray-Davies mode, use these procedures to re-set
the “n” factor value back to 1.00.
6. Press FUNCTION to return to normal operation. If you set a
value other than 1.00 for the “n” factor, the instrument will use
the Yule-Nielson formula to calculate dot.
