Maxwell Measurement Details
From ColorWiki
The Details button opens up many pages of diagnostic information and graphs to help see what's going on with your color.

Summary
The Result Summary provides:
- Printer and Track information
- The Reference Set and Color Aim used
- Print time and measurement time, if separate
- Instrument used for measurement
- A summary of the Metrics, tolerances, values and Pass / Fail status
Channel Tab
The Channel Tab includes diagrams that show:
- TVI (Tone Value Increase)
- Solid Ink Densities (for CMYK measurements)
Patches Tab
The Patches Tab provides a patch-by-patch comparison between the sample measurements and the color aims for each patch. The columns include:
- Actual visual representations of the colors (aim and sample)
- L*a*b* values
- deltaE difference
CRF - Cumulative Relative Frequency
CRF- Cumulative Relative Frequency is a graph that is has relatively new acceptance in the printing industry. It represents a quick, visual way to view the error distribution in a target measurement.
- The left axis labeled percentile represents the entire population of patches in the target. It is not a representation of ink values.
- The bottom axis represents delta E values.
- The four-colored background represents a rough grading of acceptability in the printing industry. These are not representative of Maxwell tolerances.
- The general idea is that the blue line representing the measurement should be toward the left side (green) of the graph.
