Calibrating the Printer

Installing the Calibration Application Software

November 2011
The KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Application allows the
KODAK Photo Printer to produce the best possible color response.
Printer calibration adjusts the response of the printer so that a
specific data input value yields a specific color density output.
When a printer is properly calibrated, it generates the correct
density for each given data value.
Your KODAK Photo Printer is shipped with default factory
calibration values. You should be able to set up your printer and
begin printing right away without having to first calibrate the
printer. However, if you are dissatisfied with the color of your
prints, follow the steps in this chapter to calibrate your printer.
