Using Color Calibration to Adjust Colors

Color calibration is a feature that compensates for changes in color from individual variation among Printhead

or from the printing environment, ensuring better color consistency .

W e recommend using color calibration in the following situations.

• After initial installation

• After Printhead replacement

• If colors seem dif ferent from before (however , make sure you are printing under the same conditions

and in the same printing environment)

• When consistent color is desired from multiple printers (in this case, also use the same version of

rmware and printer driver and the same settings.)

When you execute color calibration, a test pattern is printed and an adjustment value is automatically set

based on the results of printing.

Important

• Before executing color calibration, you must prepare one of the following types of paper . Note that

various environmental conditions are recommended for various types of paper . Use the printer under

the recommended environmental conditions for the paper to be used. For details on recommended

environmental conditions for various paper , see the Paper Reference Guide . ( → P .169)
