We describe data reduction techniques for the full polarization imaging of spectral line sources observed using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). The instrumental and propagation effects that need to be removed in the course of calibrating such observations are discussed. General methods are presented for antenna-based amplitude, phase and instrumental polarization calibration that allow an arbitrary degree of circular polarization in the source. Several approaches to instrumental polarization calibration are discussed, including the use of spectral line sources with moderate linear polarization.
