Getting Started with the Calibration Utility
Before you use the calibration utility, you should be thoroughly familiar
with how to operate the printer. If you plan to use the densitometer
calibration, you should be familiar with densitometry and how to operate
and calibrate your densitometer.
How Often To Calibrate
Calibrate your printer whenever the density or color balance of the prints
do not look correct. You may also want to calibrate your printer after it has
been serviced. Be sure that you calibrate for the correct media installed.
Calibrating your printer means calibrating the printing system—printer
and media.
Calibration Methods
The visual calibration components of the calibration utility include Easy
Cal, Visual Gray Balance, and Visual Linearity. While these methods do
not yield as accurate a result as a densitometer calibration, they can
make significant improvements in the consistency of results.
