ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 42
Note:
Because printed output from the printer is very sensitive to
changes in temperature and humidity, the ES3640e MFP should
not
be installed near a window or in direct sunlight, or near a
heater or air conditioner. Paper is sensitive to climate changes as
well. It should be stored in a cool, dry, stable environment, and
reams should remain sealed until they are needed.
To monitor print quality, print the following color reference pages:
• Color Charts from the Control Panel (see the
Chapter 4
)
• Color Charts from Command WorkStation/Command
WorkStation LE (see “Printing Fiery Information Pages” in the
Chapter 2
)
• Color reference pages included with the user software (see
“Introduction” in the
User Software Installation Guide
)
All these pages include fully saturated color patches and pale tints
of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Images with skin tones offer
a very good basis for comparison. Save and compare pages you
printed at different times. If there is a noticeable change in
appearance, calibrate the Fiery.
When you examine the Test Page, all color patches should be
visible, even though they may be very faint in the five percent and
two percent range. Each color’s patch set should show uniform
gradation from patch to patch as the color lightens from 100
percent to zero percent.
If the solid density patches (100% cyan, magenta, yellow, or
black) look less saturated with time, show the pages to your
printer service technician to determine whether adjusting the
printer can improve output.
