HP Scitex FB700 Industrial Printer - Manual (Page 99)

Choose a color profile
● Select the profile that matches the media name, or most closely matches the material, you are
using.
● For accurate color matching, perform a color calibration (linearization) at least once for each
media.
Color matching
The accuracy of color reproduction by the printer is the result of the interaction of numerous factors,
listed below. Correction of errors in color reproduction may involve adjustments in more than one of
these factors.
● Installation and initial calibrations (performed by an authorized service technician)
◦ Head height
◦ Printheads Y calibration
◦ BiDi calibration
◦ Printhead X calibration
● Ongoing maintenance (performed by the operator) — clogged or misfiring jets caused by lack of
regular cleaning
● Ink — settling of pigments, ink that is past its Warranty Ends date, bad batch
● Color sets and print modes — printing with different color sets (six or four colors plus white), and
different print modes
● RIP issues — linearization, color profiling, different methods for using light cyan and light
magenta, settings such as Grey Color Removal (GCR)
● Profile matching — match the color profile used by the RIP to create the RIP file with the print
mode (see
Available print modes on page 21 ) used to print the image.
