4. Press the Calibrate RIP button that will take you
to the "Calibrate Raster Image Processing"
window.
5. Set the Ink level (HP Designjet 105x series
only):
Print the Ink Level Sheet at different ink levels starting by
100% and choose the value that gives good results: not
too much ink (in order to avoid quality problems such as
cockle, bleeding, cracking or other), not too little (colors
should be vivid enough). Take into account the amount
of time the printout takes to dry.
6. Specify the Gray Balance in order to ensure a 100% neutral appearance of the printed
grays. The values to specify are the relative "strengths" of Red, Green and Blue.
To help specifying these values you can:
Print the Gray Balance Sheet. It consists of 25
•
"gray" ramps, according to various values of Red
and Green ranging from 0.6 to 1.4. Blue is
arbitrarily chosen to be 1.0.
Choose the ramp that appears more neutral to the
•
final image viewing conditions.
Specify the preferred values for Red, Green and
•
Blue in the Set gray balance boxes of the Calibrate
Raster Image Processing window. You may also
specify values that are between the printed ramps
(e.g. if you think that the ramp at position 0.8 is too
bluish and at 1.0 is too reddish, you can specify
0.9)
