Guidelines for Successful Calibration
To ensure your calibration is as accurate as possible, check the following
guidelines before you calibrate:
•
Ensure that your X-RiteColor® DTP34 QuickCal Densitometer is
connected properly
•
Ensure that your X-RiteColor DTP34 QuickCal Densitometer is
calibrated. You should calibrate the device at least once a week, or
whenever the power to the device is interrupted. Use the manufacturer
calibration chart supplied with the device. After you finish calibrating
the device, make sure you store the chart in the designated envelope.
•
To warm up the printer, use any media to print at least 25 duplex sheets
of any four color test job.
•
Print a reference job and use the same media and screen type on which
you will print the final job.
•
Prepare the calibration pad to measure the calibration charts. If a
calibration pad is not available, set a white media, at least 200 gsm, or
two sheets of lighter paper, on the surface. Read the calibration chart
on this surface.
•
Set the Spire CXP6000 color server emulation method to the method
you will use to print the customer job (CSA or Device Link).
