This guide explains how to use the **Color Chart Tool** in NeoStampa to generate printed color charts. These charts are used as physical references and can be measured with a spectrophotometer to analyze how ink, profiles, and printer behavior affect color output. What Color Charts Are Used For
Creating a Multi-Color Chart
Printed reference charts made of color patches Each patch represents a specific ink combination Used to evaluate: Color accuracy Profile performance Ink behavior under real printing conditions
Open **NeoStampa**. Launch the **Color Chart Tool**.
Choose **Four Corner Variations**. This option tests blended color transitions based on your printer profile.
Confirm the correct **printer profile** is selected. Click to **apply the profile** for accurate results.
Select the colors you want to include. Choose tones based on the color behavior you want to test.
Click **OK**. NeoStampa will generate the **multi-color chart**. Creating a Single-Color Variation Chart
Open the **Color Chart Tool** again.
Choose **One Color Variation**.
Select the **base color** you want to analyze.
Set the **Deviation Percentage** to control color range. Set the **Number of Steps per Channel** to define how many variations are shown.
Customize: **Patch size**
**Spacing** between patches
Click **OK**. NeoStampa will generate the **single-color variation chart**. Final Notes NeoStampa color chart workflow is now complete.
Multi-color charts are ideal for testing blends and transitions. Single-color charts are best for dialing in precise color accuracy. Printed charts can be measured with a spectrophotometer for deeper analysis. These tools help refine profiles and improve consistency across jobs.
