About the Printer Calibration Application

November 2011
Welcome to the KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Application for
WINDOWS, a tool for calibrating KODAK Thermal Printers using
visual or instrumented calibration techniques.
The following KODAK Printer models are supported by the
calibration application:
• KODAK D4000Duplex Photo Printer
• KODAK 8810 Photo Printer
• KODAK Photo Printer 8800/9810
• KODAK 7000/7010/7015 Photo Printer
• KODAK Photo Printer 6800/6850
• KODAK Photo Printer 605
NOTE: Instrumented calibration is not supported with the
KODAK Photo Printer 6800/6850 and the KODAK Photo
Printer 605.
To use the instrumented calibration capability of the application,
you must have an X-RITE i1PRO spectrophotometer and the latest
i1PRO device driver software from X-RITE. If you have an X-Rite
i1Pro device, "Additional Information for Using an X-RITE i1PRO
Device" on page 1-2.
The KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Application (Calibration
Application) lets your Kodak printer produce the best possible
color. Calibration adjusts the response of the printer so that a
specific data input value yields a specific color density output.
The printer is shipped with default factory calibration settings.
You can set up your printer and print right away without having to
calibrate the printer. However, if you are dissatisfied with the color
of your prints, you should calibrate your printer.
