Color Calibration Management Console is software that allows you to view the color calibration status and execute color calibration on multiple printers
Solution
| Color Calibration Management Console is software that allows you to view the color calibration status and execute color calibration on multiple printers. You can also acquire color measurement data and execute color checks on printers that have a spectrophotometer unit installed. |
| •Display Color Calibration Status
•Execute Color Calibration
•Acquire Color Measurement Data
•Execute Color Check | Display Color Calibration Status |
The printers connected via the network and USB are displayed in a list in the main window.
If there are multiple printers, printers where color calibration has been executed on the same paper type and that paper is loaded in the printer are displayed in the same calibration group. Printers that are in the same calibration group can be corrected to give the same color tones by executing color calibration.
When a printer is selected from the main window, the color calibration status, execution logs, etc. of that printer are displayed.
| Execute Color Calibration |
You can execute color calibration.
Executing color calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears due to individual variations or aging among the printers.
 | Note | | • In order to execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper/feed certified paper, a calibration target is required for that paper. Calibration targets can be created on a printer with a spectrophotometer unit installed by using the Media Configuration Tool that is included with printers that support the spectrophotometer unit. |
| Acquiring Color Measurement Data from the Color Chart |
You can measure the colors of any arbitrary color chart and save the color measurement data on your computer. You can then create an ICC profile by importing this data into commercially available ICC profile creation software.
| Note | | • This function can be executed when a printer that has a spectrophotometer unit installed is selected. |
You can execute a color check. When a color check is executed, a built-in pattern is printed, the color difference from a calibration target registered in the printer is calculated, and the check results are displayed. Execute a color check when you want to check the color status of a printer in deta | Note | | • This function can be executed when a printer that has a spectrophotometer unit installed is selected. |
