Correcting the Color Gradation Correcting the Color Gradation Color gradation during color printing changes slightly, depending on a number of factors. If you print the same file repeatedly or toner was recently replaced, changes may occur in color tones. When this happens, to obtain suitable print results, color gradation can be corrected, although it is not usually necessary to make any particular settings. Note ❒ If suitable results cannot be obtained after a single operation, repeat the correction several times, as needed. ❒ Corrections to color gradation will be applied to all user jobs. ❒ Use the same type of paper when printing a run of gradation corrections. If a different type of paper is used, corrections may not be apparent. ❒ This requires the use of the supplied Color Calibration Sample Sheet. ❒ Corrections to color gradation are performed in the following order: A Print gradation correction sheet 1. B Adjust the parts of highlight colors. Set the correction value. Print the gradation correction sheet, and then check the result of the correction. C Print gradation correction sheet 2. D Adjust the parts of middle colors. Set the correction value. Print the gradation correction sheet, and then check the result of the cor- 8 rection. E Save the correction value.
