Creating Custom TekColor Corrections

Your Phaser printer has a number of TekColor corrections built into the printer. Try these color 
corrections before using PhaserMatch. Using the existing color corrections saves you time 
since you do not have to create new color corrections for your printer to get the output you 
want. For information on using the built-in color corrections, see the User Guide on the Xerox 
website at 

www.xerox.com/office/support

.

If none of the TekColor corrections built into the printer meet your needs, you can generate 
new TekColor corrections using PhaserMatch. Creating new TekColor corrections can be 
accomplished in several ways. The simplest way to create a new TekColor correction is to start 
from existing ICC profiles. You can:

use an existing ICC device link profile to create a TekColor correction, and then download 
it to a Phaser 7760 or Phaser 7750 printer or update the Phaser 7700 printer driver. 

edit an existing ICC device link profile, and then download it to a Phaser 7760 or 
Phaser 7750 printer or update the Phaser 7700 printer driver. 

create a new device link profile by linking a Phaser printer ICC profile and the ICC profile 
of another device, and then download it to a Phaser 7760 or Phaser 7750 printer or update 
the Phaser 7700 printer driver. 

If an existing ICC device link profile meets your needs, you can use the "Download Profiles" 
and "Edit Profiles" functionality. Editing or downloading TekColor corrections can save time 
because you do not have to create new device link profiles.

If you do not want to use the ICC profiles provided by the PhaserMatch software, you can 
create your own ICC profiles by purchasing ICC profile creation software and instruments 
from a third party vendor.
