Printer Calibration
KODAK POLYCHROME GRAPHICS recommends daily calibration and recalibration each time the printer
is serviced.
When using supplied profiles and device links for premium medias, printer calibration must use the
Matchprint Co-Branded Xerox Color Laser Proofing Paper. This is the only premium paper authorized by
Kodak Polychrome Graphics and Xerox to accurately simulate Matchprint color.

following Xerox media:
•
Normal Bond

.5 x 11, other sizes in the media weight may be substituted for the
purpose of calibrating the Xerox DocuColor 12 LP/CP.
Important!
If a media other than the recommended Xerox media is used, the following error appears:
“Caution! The media used for calibration appears to be significantly different from the Normal Bond (or
Heavyweight) media recommended for used with this application. Results of the calibration on this media
may not be typical.”
Printer calibration can be performed internally by using the DocuColor 12 built-in scanner or by using the
Spectrostar Spectrocam, an external measurement device. Both procedures are described in this section.
If calibration is to be performed using the Spectrocam, please go through the following
