To Recalibrate from RIP-Queue:

If you do not see the "Recalibrate" icon on the RIP-Queue toolbar, select Setup from the top menu, then choose Customize Toolbar > Recalibrate to enable the icon.

To determine the media/mode: 

Select the printer and click > Change in the status area. Use the drop-down list to select the desired profile.

To Recalibrate from RIP-Queue:

1. Click the Recalibrate icon, this will open up the dialog and display the printer and media you just selected from the status area in blue. Use the drop-down list to choose the desired mode.

2. Click > Print and use the drop-down list to select the color sampling device.

Note: If you have not already configured the device, click > Setup > Measurement Device > Add. Scroll down and select the device from the list (this also includes the HPZeries) and follow the wizard instructions.

3. Click > Next until you click > finish. Then close out of these windows. Now make sure you use the drop-down list to select the device and click> Print. 

4. Click > Read, when the window open, click Read Swatch and Read Swatch again. Follow the on-screen instuctions.

Note: If you are using the HPZseries the printer will have already printed the swatch and allowed it to dry. When you click Read Swatch the second time the table should fill in with data from the printer. If you do this before the swatch is dry, you'll just need to wait. We cannot control the dry time. 

5. Click > OK > Accept when all of the table is full. 

6. Click > Build.  You do not need to modify anything when the Desired Target screen appears, click > Build to exit this window.

Note: If for some reason your printer does not achieve the density of the original profile, the target density on the upper end will go flat on that channel and there is no warning. You cannot reset to original. You then have to re-install your profile and increase the ink restriction hopefully to meet the target.

Tweak profile in v6.5 was a fast and easy way to check this. In V7 you can check this within the View Media Library > access the media/mode you want to review and click > edit.

Some users will scale their initial target densities by 95% to 90% to allow a bit of leeway for the future re-calibrations. This is also assumeing that future calibrations will always be lower. The benefit of keeping the upper limit of your target densities "floating" is that if your printer can produce a higher density you're not locked in and the maximum gamut is always achievable.
