I have given the name of GLOSSY_COLOR to the
settings that I have SAVED.
Than, make another test print.
To make another test print, go back to the image shown
on Page 9 and drag the 4x5 image over to the opposite
corner of the 8x10 page… and put the same sheet of paper
back in the printer.
Evaluate the second test print. Maybe you will need to
move the slider bars again a little bit. Review the sample
test images on Page 16.
If the test print is a reasonable match for the image on the
monitor screen, then your system is calibrated and you
can stop now. If your test print is not a satisfactory match
to the image on the screen, continue to make additional
test prints and further adjustments to the slider bars.
Accurate calibration at this point is a matter of adjusting
the printer’s control settings (the slider bars) to better
match the image on the screen. It will take some trial &
error experimenting… just like making ―test prints― in a
wet darkroom. But, once you have it set up correctly, you
will not have to do it again, because then your prints from
the ink jet printer will always be an exact match for what
you see on the monitor screen.
You will need to make several test prints, and make small,
tweaking changes in the color/density/contrast settings in
order to zero in on the correct settings so that the printed
image will match the image on the monitor screen. Take
your time and do it right. This is similar to producing a
“perfect print‖ in a wet darkroom. It requires a lot of pure
trial & error testing.
A setting of ―minus‖ Brightness will make the resulting
print a little DARKER in density. A setting of ―minus‖
CYAN will make the resulting print a little MORE RED
(less CYAN), etc, etc.
Your act of calibrating is completed, when the B&W
image of the small child appears to be truly NEUTRAL
B&W. always view the test images under a good quality
light such as DAYLIGHT. Do not use a yellow flood light
(called an incandescent light bulb) And, do NOT use a
GREEN flood light (called a fluorescent light). Such
viewing lights will seriously distort your perception of
color.
