Printer Calibration
KODAK POLYCHROME GRAPHICS recommends daily calibration and recalibration each time the printer
is serviced.
When using supplied profiles and device links for premium medias, printer calibration must use the
Matchprint Co-Branded Xerox Color Laser Proofing Paper. This is the only premium paper authorized by
Kodak Polychrome Graphics and Xerox to accurately simulate Matchprint color.

Calibrate for Bond medias using the following Xerox Color Xpressions + media. The Color Profiles and
Device Links supplied for normal, heavyweight, and extra heavyweight bond were all created using the
following Xerox media:
•
Normal Bond: Xerox Digital Color Xpressions +, 24 lb., Bright 96 paper, 3R11380
•
Heavyweight Bond: Xerox Digital Color Xpressions +, 60 lb., Bright 96 paper, 3R11390
•
Extra Heavyweight Bond: Xerox Digital Color Xpressions +, 80 lb., Ultra White 98 paper,
3R5537
•
Note, all papers above are 8.5 x 11, other sizes in the media weight may be substituted for the
purpose of calibrating the Xerox DocuColor 12 LP/CP.
Important! If a media other than the recommended Xerox media is used, the following error appears:
"Caution! The media used for calibration appears to be significantly different from the Normal Bond (or
Heavyweight) media recommended for used with this application. Results of the calibration on this media
may not be typical."
Printer calibration can be performed internally by using the DocuColor 12 built-in scanner or by using the
Spectrostar Spectrocam, an external measurement device. Both procedures are described in this section.
If calibration is to be performed using the Spectrocam, please go through the following Spectrocam
Setup instructions before beginning the calibration process.
If calibration is to be performed using the DocuColor 12 scanner, please skip to the section titled,
