printing in the Black&White mode or
when printing black data.
Color ink is consumed during the head
o
cleaning process.
If all nozzles are selected when you perform Head
Cleaning or Powerful Cleaning, inks of all colors will
be used. (This is true even if you are currently printing
in black and white.)

Problem Solver
When an error occurs during color
measurement (when using the
SpectroProofer mounter), the colors
do not match even after performing

color calibration

Are the temperature and humidity within the
o
range specified for the printer (during
operation) and paper?
If the color measurement chart is printed outside the
recommended environmental conditions, the correct
color measurement is not acquired. See the manuals
supplied with the printer and paper for the
recommended environmental conditions.

"Specifications Table" on page 183
Do the RIP or application print settings differ
o
from the actual print conditions?
Printing cannot be performed correctly if the paper
type or black ink type differ from the RIP or application
settings. Check the the paper type loaded in the
printer and the black ink type settings are correct.
Was the color measurement chart printed
o
with clogged nozzles?
Check that there is no visible banding (horizontal lines
at regular intervals) in the color measurement chart. If
a color measurement chart is printed with clogged
nozzles, the correct color measurement result cannot
be acquired. If there are clogged nozzles, perform
head cleaning, and then print the color measurement
chart again.

Are there stains or scratches on the color
o
measurement chart, or does ink peel off?
If there are stains or scratches on the color
measurement chart, or if ink peels off, the correct color
measurement result cannot be acquired. Reprint the
color measurement chart.
