Color Management Using the Spectrophotometer Unit (Optional)
Stabilizing Colors (Color Calibration Execution Guide Settings)
It is important to carry out color calibration because color tones change as a printhead ages and the environment
changes.
This printer has a function that notifies when it is recommended to execute color calibration. This prevents forgetting to
carry out color calibration and allows you to continuously reduce variations in color tones.
In the CCMC color management utility, Advisability of executing color calibration is displayed as a progress bar.
This allows you to manage color efficiently because you can visually check roughly how long until color calibration is
executed next.
For a detailed explanation, see the following.

Outputting Color Measurement Data for Creating ICC Profiles
If you want strict color management using paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper, use a dedi-
cated ICC profile for that paper.
Dedicated ICC profiles (*1) for paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper need to be created us-
ing commercially available ICC profile creation software. (*1: Some paper manufacturers also distribute profiles from
their websites.)
