Important
•
In order to increase the color stability precision when executing color calibration, maintain a constant temperature and humid-
ity environment each time within the range of temperatures of 15 to 30°C and within the range of humidities of 40 to 60%.
Executing color calibration under various temperature and humidity conditions may prevent the printer from making the cor-
rect adjustments.
•
Before color calibration, ensure the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.
If the printer is exposed to strong sources of light, correct adjustment may not be possible.
Recommend Timing for Color Calibration
We recommend color calibration in the following situations.
•
After initial printer installation
•
After Printhead replacement
• If colors seem different from before, despite using the same printing environment, under the same conditions
• To ensure uniform colors when printing on multiple printers (however, be sure to use the same version of firmware
and printer driver, under the same settings)
• When the Execution Guide is displayed ( Specifying Execution Guide
→P.828
)
