dialog box. If you perform color measurement while the ink is not dry, the
measurements may not be correct.
The Preferences dialog box is displayed when you click Preferences in the
imagePROGRAF Color Calibration Management Console menu.
If the number of patterns is small, drying will finish in a shorter amount of
time than the time configured in the Preferences dialog box. If this happens,
the drying time will not be reduced even if the Reduce Drying Time check
box is selected.
Airflow Selects the airflow of the ventilation fan.
Air Drying Sets the period between the color chart being printed and the color
measurement starting.
If the Dry Separated Chart check box is selected, printing and air drying
are repeated for each separated color chart. This makes it harder for the color
charts to become scratched or soiled, but also increases the time taken by the
operation.
If the Dry Separated Chart check box is clear, printing and air drying the
color chart are performed once. This reduces the time taken by the
operation, but may scratch or soil the end of the color chart and paper.
However, this does not affect the color measurement results.
Position of Ventilation Fan If you are using paper that has a tendency to curl or paper that does not dry
easily, select High so that the paper does not come into contact with the
paper presser.
Note that when High is selected, we recommend that you set the Time
longer and the Airflow stronger compared with when Standard is selected
because of the larger distance between the ventilation fan and paper.
