Introduction how to ensure the best output quality
Introduction
This chapter describes how to make sure you have the best quality for your print jobs.
■
The Océ TCS300 offers several methods that help you to define the best print
mode for your job. These methods are described in the Define the output quality
section of this chapter.
■
The Océ TCS300 has 3 methods that help you to identify and analyse changes in
the output quality, the 'Quality check' print, the 'Tone scale area check' print, and
the 'Demo print'. The Check the output quality section of this chapter describes
these 3 methods.
■
When you find problems with the output quality, the Optimise the output
quality section of this chapter helps you to correct the problems.
To optimise the colours of your printed output, you can adjust the Colour
Management settings. The Colour Management section of this chapter gives an
overview of these Colour Management settings.
When to do
Only do actions to optimise the output quality based on the information supplied in
the 'Check the output quality' section.
When you are not satisfied with the output quality, use the following procedure
1.
Make sure that you loaded and defined the correct media type on the printer.
Use the 'Change media type' wizard to change the media type defined on the system.
(
see ‘Replace the media’ on page 132 ).
Also make sure you defined the correct media type for your job.
2.
Make sure you defined the correct output mode for your job. ( see ‘Introduction how
to ensure the best output quality’ on page 82 ).
3.
When you have defined the correct media and the correct print mode, and you are
still not satisfied with the output quality, use the wizards to achieve optimal output
quality. (
see ‘Optimise the output quality on the printer’ on page 116 ).
4.
Use the prints generated by the 'Quality check' print, the 'Tone scale area check' print
and the 'Demo print' to evaluate the quality of the prints and the colours.
