Calibration: For when consistency is
critical
The newest imagePROGRAF Graphic Arts printers are
uniquely equipped to overcome the effects of time and
environment with the built-in ability to calibrate back to the
original, optimal factory settings and then apply any
necessary adjustments across all of the printer's media
types in just minutes! This creates a more stable,
predictable printing platform on which superior results can
be consistently achieved.
Perhaps the best way to describe the impact this
technology can have on your business — is to give you a
scenario for consideration. Think of a photographer who
has produced a large format portrait for a customer, a
designer working for a corporate client, or an artist
producing and oversized museum quality piece. Each has
worked hard on their piece giving careful attention to
every detail, the color and resolution are just right — and
the print is perfect. Then a few months go by and their
customer wants to order additional copies — perhaps for
HARDWARE
family members or a collector. This may sound easy
enough, however, time and environmental conditions can
effect any printer's performance and color reproduction.
When this happens it could be difficult to reproduce a print
that is a perfect match to the original made only a few
months earlier. If you work in a busy multi-printer
environment, the problem can be even more complex.
This is when Canon's unique calibration function can make
all the difference.
To help ensure the best results, Canon has created a
solution that simplifies sophisticated color science with a
highly accurate sensor that scans and reads a calibration
chart, makes calculations for color density, light and media
and then automatically applies any necessary adjustments
across all of the printer's media profiles. The profiles
applied have been specifically optimized by Canon to
address the unique requirements of printing large format
images. The result is better overall quality and more
reliable color reproduction across all of the printer's media
types, from print to print, day after day.
