Device profiles
A device profile holds your printer's physical limits. Hybrid screening, automatic choke, measurement verdicts, and ink volume read from it.
Choose the Active profile under Device Profile on the Settings tab. Each profile lists its process, addressable resolution, provenance, and limits:

| Minimum gap | 225 µm |

Provenance
Every value carries a provenance label so you know how much to trust it: Certified, Measured, Community, Vendor published, Your test, or Estimated. Estimated profiles are engineering estimates, not measured production limits, and can't issue pass or fail verdicts.
Changing the active profile updates a live Hybrid mask. Other masks stay as they are until you test again.
