eAIDC ensures consistent color from page to
page and document to document.
PANTONE Color Look-Up Tables
PANTONE Color is another form of color matching supported by the
printer's built-in CMM. Pantone, Inc. specifies hundreds of spot colors,
each with a unique number. These colors can be simulated on the
printers with the appropriate combination of process (CMYK) colors.
On the magicolor 2550 Series printers, the desired PANTONE Color
number and corresponding CMYK value are accessed from a look-up
table especially formulated for the printer by Pantone, Inc. These tables
and related documentation are available on the KONICA MINOLTA web
site.
Enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC)
From day to day, and from one consumable change to the next, toner
density may change, ultimately affecting color consistency. To maintain
color consistency and ensure predictable color without user intervention,
the magicolor 2550 EN and 2550 DN automatically perform enhanced
Automatic Image Density Control at the following times:
When the printer is turned on after a temperature or humidity
change has occurred
When the printer exits from Energy Saver mode after a
temperature or humidity change has occurred
When the printer is turned on or exits from Energy Saver mode
after a predetermined number of pages have been printed (200
pages since the last quick AIDC or 1000 pages since the last full
AIDC)
After a consumables change
Whenever requested through the Engine/Service/ Color
