Performing color calibration
Color calibration aligns the inkjets of the cartridges to each other. Misalignment can
result from small tolerance variations in cartridges during manufacturing and from
cartridge alignment in the printer. Color test patterns let you check the horizontal and
vertical alignment values and adjust them for the best printing results.
