CALIBRATION 46
CALIBRATION
Calibrating the EX700i ensures consistent and reliable color output. Calibrate the EX700i
using the Calibrate feature in Command WorkStation with the digital press’s built-in scanner,
a densitometer, or a spectrophotometer.
You can determine if the EX700i is calibrated in Command WorkStation. For more
information, see “Checking calibration status” on page 47.
If you defined a custom halftone screen on the EX700i Print Server, you must calibrate the
EX700i for that halftone screen before you print a job with it. For more information, see
“Calibration and halftone screens” on page 55.
Changing calibration has the potential to affect all jobs for all users, so consider limiting the
number of people authorized to perform calibration. Set an Administrator password to
control access to calibration (see Configuration and Setup).
Calibration methods
You can calibrate the EX700i using the following methods:
All of these calibration methods, except for ColorCal from the digital press touch panel, are
performed through Command WorkStation. For more information about each of these
methods, see Calibrator Help.
