Solution | Features of Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor Color calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears when printing due to individual variations or aging among the printers. Executing color calibration with the printer sensor will print a test pattern (built into the printer) that is then read automatically by the printer sensor. By this operation, calibration adjustment values reflecting the print result of the test pattern are set automatically.
Recommend Timing for Color Calibration We recommend color calibration in the following situations.
Executing Color Calibration from the Control Panel on the Printer Execute color calibration from the Control Panel on the printer as follows. Refer to the information on Color Calibration Management Console operations when executing color calibration from the computer.
1.You can confirm whether the paper to be loaded can be used in color calibration. 2.Load the paper.
1.On the Tab Selection screen of the Control Panel, press ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
2.Press the OK button. Set./Adj. Menu is displayed. 3.Press ![]() ![]() 4.Press ![]() ![]() 5.Press ![]() ![]() After the environment measurements and paper are confirmed, and color calibration is executed, the calibration adjustment value is set automatically. Applying Calibration Adjustment Values During Printing The application of the calibration adjustment values when printing can be set in the printer driver or on the menu of the Control Panel. However, when the setting value of the printer driver and the setting value of the Control Panel differ, the setting of the printer driver is prioritized.
Checking Color Calibration Execution Logs You can confirm information of color calibration such as the execution date and executed paper type by the following method.
Specifying Execution Guide The Execution Guide function displays a guide on the Control Panel, imagePROGRAF Status Monitor (Windows), imagePROGRAF Printmonitor (Mac OS X), RemoteUI, and/or the Color Calibration Management Console. If you enable this function, an Execution Guide is displayed in the following cases.
To enable the function, set Set Exec. Guide to On on the menu of the Control Panel. Using the Color Calibration Management Console Management Functions The Color Calibration Management Console provides the following management functions.
