Paper Stock and toner
The paper and toner used by the print device can greatly affect printed
color. For best results, use the consumables recommended by the
manufacturer of your printer.
Maintenance
Problems such as streaking and insufficient or excessive amounts of
one or more toners arise when a print device does not receive periodic
maintenance. In addition to having it serviced regularly, monitor the
color production of your printer by making standard test prints at
regular intervals. You can do this easily by printing the Color PagePro
Ex Test Page from the panel. Save the prints and show them to your
system or site administrator if recalibration becomes necessary.
Note
• If the Gray Balance page is printed after the Limits calculations have
been made, the gray field on which the CMY patches appear on the
Limits page will use the new density and luminosity calibration set-
tings.
