Calibration Process of KC80 and KIP C7800
General
The calibration process is needed to achieve optimal printing results. It consists of several steps. To understand
how the calibration must be performed, the image processing chain is described first:
Image data is converted by 6 modules:
 Color calibration module (1): Converting image data into printer color space
 Gray calibration (2): Make printed grays (R=G=B) perceptually uncolored
 Linearization module (3): Accurate linearization of the printing process
 Toner-Limit / Gamma (4): Reduce maximum toner and rough linearization of the printing process

Printer (5): Toner density
The calibration process must be performed in the reverse order and must be performed for each media type
and print mode. Otherwise the calibration will result in unpredictable colors.
The calibration processing steps for one media type and one print mode are explained in detail below.
