Quick Start — First Measurement

What You Need

• A compatible measurement instrument connected to your computer and recognised by the operating system.
• CC Capture installed — see Installing CC Capture.
• A ChromaChecker account — or use QuickChecker trial mode (no account required) for an initial evaluation.

Select Your Inspector

When you launch CC Capture and log in, you will be presented with the QuickStart menu. Choose the Inspector that matches your workflow:

Trial Mode — QuickChecker

If you don’t yet have a ChromaChecker account, you can use QuickChecker — a free trial mode built into CC Capture. QuickChecker allows you to:

• Measure spot colors and evaluate them against a reference
• Use a scratchpad for fast on-the-fly evaluation
• Refer to Assets (color libraries and palettes)
• Export measurements to CxF format
• View the ΔE Variator and Snowflake tolerance visualisations

QuickChecker is ideal for getting familiar with the CC Capture interface before setting up a full account.

Next Steps

Once you’ve completed your first measurement, explore the Inspector documentation that matches your workflow:

• Measured a control strip on press → Print Inspector
• Measured a spot or brand color → Color Inspector
• Measured paper → Substrate Inspector
• Want to automate data collection → Data Collection
