Using Color Calibration to Adjust Colors

Color calibration is a feature that compensates for changes in color from individual variation among Printheads
or from the printing environment, ensuring better color consistency.
We recommend using color calibration in the following situations.
•
After initial installation
•
After Printhead replacement
•
If colors seem different from before when printing under the same conditions in the same printing
environment
•
When consistent color is desired from multiple printers (in this case, also use the same version of
rmware and printer driver and the same settings.)
When you execute color calibration, a test pattern is printed and an adjustment value is automatically set
based on the results of printing.
Important
•
Before executing color calibration, you must prepare one of the following types of paper. Note that
various environmental conditions are recommended for various types of paper. Use the printer under
the recommended environmental conditions for the paper to be used. For details on recommended
environmental conditions for various paper, see the Paper Reference Guide. (→P.107)
