Performing Color Calibration

The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) is a scanner calibration and profiling utility
program exclusively designed for Microtek scanners. Used together with the color
calibration target, the ICC Profiler determines the color attributes of your scanner
accurately, then generates an ICC profile tailored exclusively for the scanner you are
using under ScanWizard Pro.

The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler utility is included in the CD-ROM that contains
ScanWizard Pro. Select the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler option to install.

The color calibration target

Two industry-standard Kodak color targets – Reflective (Kodak Q-60R1, size 5" x 7")
and Transparency (Kodak Q-60E1, size 4" x 5") — for calibration are included in the
scanner accessories package.

The calibration target is very delicate and must be handled carefully, as follows:

Gently remove the target from its protective sleeve and avoid touching the target
image surface.

When not in use, keep the target in its sleeve and away from light and heat.

Note: To keep the colors in your scanner consistent, you should perform color
calibration on a regular basis. Professional photographers, graphic designers or
others who require extremely precise color may wish to calibrate the scanner every
time it is used.

Positioning the Target on Scanner

Before calibration, make sure that the Scanner ICC Profiler program is successfully
installed, and that the calibration target is placed on your scanner correctly.

Proper positioning of the target (either reflective or transparent target) on the scanner
is important for successful calibration. Incorrect positioning of the target will result in
an unsuccessful calibration.
