Correcting The Color Gradation - Ricoh Aficio SP C400DN Hardware Manual

Correcting the Color Gradation

Color gradation during color printing changes slightly, depending on a number
of factors. If you print the same file repeatedly or toner was recently replaced,
changes may occur in color tones. When this happens, to obtain suitable print re-
sults, color gradation can be corrected, although it is not usually necessary to
make any particular settings.
Note
❒ If suitable results cannot be obtained after a single operation, repeat the cor-
rection several times, as needed.
❒ Corrections to color gradation will be applied to all user jobs.
❒ Use the same type of paper when printing a run of gradation corrections. If a
different type of paper is used, corrections may not be apparent.
❒ This requires the use of the supplied Color Calibration Sample Sheet.
❒ Corrections to color gradation are performed in the following order:
A Print gradation correction sheet 1.
B
Adjust the parts of highlight colors.
Set the correction value.
Print the gradation correction sheet, and then check the result of the cor-
rection.
C
Print gradation correction sheet 2.
D Adjust the parts of middle colors.
Set the correction value.
Print the gradation correction sheet, and then check the result of the cor-
rection.
E Save the correction value.
