Color Accuracy
These are two areas you should review when troubleshooting
a color accuracy problem:
Configuration
Check the color emulation selected in the driver (or in the front
panel if no driver is being used). Make sure the color
information is adjusted for the current color setup. See
Color
Accuracy Configuration, on page 40
.
Color Consistency problems
Some media may discolor or change with age. Check that
your media is fresh and has been stored correctly.
Check to make sure that color calibration is turned on.
Refer to
Calibrating the Color Output, on page 45
.
If the environmental conditions you are printing in change
rapidly, you may see changes in the color consistency. By
reducing the time the print stays in extreme environmental
conditions after being printed (especially very high
humidity) you can reduce the color consistency problems.
Long Term Color Bleeding (Glossy Papers)
If you see the colors are bleeding into the paper i.e. the color is
soaking into the paper making the lines fuzzy and bleary. This
is because of the humidity conditions that you are working
under:
Change the paper that you are printing with.
or
Remove the printer from the high humidity conditions.
Do not cover or stack the printed images after printing.
