2.5 Customer-Defined Image Quality Adjustments and Recommendations

Customer-defined image quality adjustments enable the customer to enhance the
productivity of the machine. There are several ways to maintain color consistency
for each job. The recommendations below aim at reproducing optimal images under
variable factors (i.e., changes in the environment).
To achieve the best image quality, these factors are recommended:
• Tighter control of the temperature and humidity results in tighter color consistency
in the device.
• Maintain the device properly, which includes performing preventative maintenance,
as scheduled.
• The customer can also maintain proper color calibration on the device by
performing an Automatic Gradation Adjustment once a day. For optimal quality,
the customer should perform an Auto Gradation Adjustment whenever a change
in print quality is noticed and when dither pattern adjustments are made. It is
strongly suggested that the customer use one media for the Automatic Gradation
Adjustment daily. The media for optimal color control should be consistent with
Hammermill 28 lb color laser paper.
• Some customers may want to incorporate a Color Management workflow that
consists of not only the above, but also uses the Color and Imaging features
included with a print controller.
Best Practices: While working, Color Management must be implemented with
consistency. This, along with a stable environment and a well-maintained system,
makes the customer's ability to reproduce color more efficient.
IMPORTANT
After the machine is installed, setup, and adjusted to the customer's preferences,
it is strongly recommended that owners of the imagePRESS V1000 print and store
samples of the machine's image quality. These samples should serve as a
benchmark, against which subsequent image quality can be referenced. Samples
should be made by using as many applications, media, and paper types the owner
intends to use on the imagePRESS V1000.
