Performing Color Calibration for Each Paper Type

In order to print with color adjustment settings suitable to the paper type you are using, you can perform color calibration for each paper type.

Restoring Initial Color Calibration Settings for Each Paper Type


The optional [In-line Spectrophotometer-A] is required to perform color calibration for each paper type. When you perform calibration for each paper type, the gradation settings are automatically adjusted to the settings that are predefined for that paper type. With this function, the stability of gradation is enhanced. If the gradation or the color after calibration for each paper type is not satisfactory, perform additional adjustments like performing <Color Balance> from <Adjustment/Maintenance> <Adjust Image Quality>.
