The printer calibrates the color by printing a 'calibration strip' and then scanning the strip with a built-in optical sensor. The printer will then calculate the color correction required, which is then applied to all the subsequent prints. The Color Calibration is performed whenever a printhead is replaced, and a new printing material is introduced that has not been calibrated yet with the new printhead(s). However, this can be turned off, and a default color correction used for each of the known printing materials. calibrating the color output The menu settings for Color calibration are: On The printer uses the calibration the printer has performed before printing a page. The printer performs the calibration whenever you introduce a new printing material that has not yet been calibrated with the current set of printheads. A color calibration can also be triggered manually via the Calibrations menu. Off The printer uses a default color correction, different for each printing material and print quality setting. Go to Menu Setup > Internal RIP Settings > Color Calibration.
