The data currently loaded in the Certification dialog can be saved as a PQX file. These files include the complete set of data required for validating a particular job – spot color definitions, target values and tolerances – as well as the measurement data. PQX files can therefore be sent on for print quality evaluation at remote sites or loaded in ORIS CxF Toolbox in order to quickly validate the same print job again.

1. Optional: Into the box at the bottom left, enter a comment on the selected CxF/X-4 color definition. This is only possible if the 100% tint value is selected.
2. Click at the bottom right to save the validation settings as a PQX file.

   When validating the same job again, load this file as explained under Load CxF/X-4 Data. This will save you the trouble of having to reload the original PDF job files or having to adjust any validation parameters.

3. Optional: Click if you want to create a report for the validation results.
