| In the Windows printer driver, Application Color Matching Priority is not selected. | Click Special Settings on the Layout sheet of the printer driver and select Application Color Matching Priority in the dialog box. |
|
| There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed after Printhead replacement because of individual variation among printheads. | Execute color calibration.

|
| Printhead characteristics gradually change through repeated use, and colors may change. | Execute color calibration.
(See "

|
| Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer if you use a different version of the firmware or printer driver, or when you print under different settings or in a different printing environment. | Follow these steps to prepare the printing environment.
1. Use the same version of firmware or printer driver.
2. Specify the same value for all settings items.
3. Execute color calibration.

| When reinstalling the printer driver, you changed the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool. Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool deletes the region-specific paper information originally registered on the printer before installation. Using paper with deleted information when executing color calibration will prevent the resulting calibration adjustment value from being applied to all other types of the paper. | Prepare paper compatible with calibration in the newly selected region and perform calibration again.
