Color Printing 31 Calibration Managing calibration settings Every output profile on the C9 Server must be associated with a calibration setting. The calibration setting provides the C9 Server with density measurements of each of the printed colorants, for specific printing conditions (for example, media type). This data, along with the expected density response of the printer, allows the C9 Server to apply corrections to color values that are sent to the printer, to achieve the calibrated output. An output profile can be associated with only one calibration setting, but the same calibration setting can be used by more than one output profile. A calibration setting must be associated with at least one output profile, otherwise the calibration setting will never be used for printing.

Managing calibration settings
Every output profile on the C9 Server must be associated with a calibration setting. The calibration setting provides
the C9 Server with density measurements of each of the printed colorants, for specific printing conditions (for
example, media type). This data, along with the expected density response of the printer, allows the C9 Server to
apply corrections to color values that are sent to the printer, to achieve the calibrated output.
An output profile can be associated with only one calibration setting, but the same calibration setting can be used by
more than one output profile.
A calibration setting must be associated with at least one output profile, otherwise the calibration setting will never
be used for printing.
Output profiles and calibration settings
The C9 Server has one or more factory-supplied output profiles. These output profiles and their associated
calibration settings may produce acceptable color quality. However, you may need to create custom calibration
settings and output profiles, depending on your situation.

Notes
1
Recommended paper for a factory-
supplied output profile (the paper
that the profile is based on)
Printing with the output profile
produces acceptable color. You do not
need to create a calibration setting or
custom profile.
You can find the recommended paper
for an output profile in Calibrator.
2
Paper similar to a factory-supplied
profile’s recommended paper
You might be able to use the output
profile. The print settings required for
your paper (for example, media type
and media weight) must match the
print settings required by the
recommended paper. If the color
quality is acceptable, you do not need
to create a calibration setting or
custom profile.
The output profile name usually
indicates the general type of paper (for
example, plain, coated, or heavy). You
can find the print settings required for
the recommended paper in Calibrator.
3
Paper that is similar to a factory-
supplied profile’s recommended
paper, but uses different print
settings
You might still be able to use a factory-
supplied output profile, if you create a
custom calibration setting and use it to
calibrate the C9 Server with your
paper.
You can create a custom calibration
setting in Calibrator.
4
Paper that does not yield
acceptable color with any factory-
supplied profile
You must create a custom calibration
setting and custom profile.
Use profile-generating software to
create a custom profile.
Note:
Recommended papers are chosen for color quality, as well as other factors, such as feeding reliability and
quality of transfer.
