To select a calibration table for a job:
¾
In the
Calibration list, select a calibration table. The default calibration table is

Ink Saving (GCR)
Gray component replacement (GCR) prevents the consequences of excessive toner
buildup, such as flaking and cracking, and the "curling" effect that may occur when
you print transparencies.
¾
To set ink saving, select one of the following options:
None: no GCR is performed on the file, and the printer applies maximum dry
ink coverage.
Low, Medium, or High: the selected amount of CMY dry inks replaces the
black dry ink.
Color Adjustments
Gradation
The
Gradation list contains gradation tables that were created by the Spire CX260’s
Gradation tool. Each gradation table contains specific settings for brightness,
contrast, and color balance.
When you select a predefined gradation table, your job is adjusted according to the
specific table’s settings.
For more information about creating gradation tables, see Gradation Tool on
page 145.
¾
In the
Gradation list, select one of the defined gradation tables.
Brightness
Use this option to make last-minute adjustments to the print job after proofing.
¾
To select a brightness level for a job, move the
Brightness slider to the required
brightness level (the range starts from
Light, which applies
-15%, to
Dark, which applies +15%).
