Color calibration improves color consistency between
prints, and from one printer to another. The printer
calibrates the color by printing a ‘calibration strip’ and
then scanning the strip with a built-in optical sensor.
The printer will then calculate the color correction
required, which is then applied to all the subsequent
prints. The Color Calibration is performed whenever a
printhead is replaced, for each newly introduced media
type that has not previously been calibrated for the
current set of printheads. This can be turned off
however and a default color correction is used for each
of the media that is known.

The menu settings for Color calibration are:

Go to Menu Setup/Internal RIP Settings/Color
Calibration. Refer to

Internal RIP Settings Menu

to see

the menu.

The printer uses the calibration the printer
has performed before printing a page. The
printer performs the calibration whenever
you introduce a new media type that has
not been calibrated yet with the current set
of printheads. A color calibration can also
be triggered manually via the Calibrations
menu.

The printer uses a default color correction,
different for each media type and print
quality setting.
