Color Management Using the Spectrophotometer Unit (Optional) For details on creating a Calibration Target, see the following. • Create Calibration Target (Windows) →P.601 • Create Calibration Target (Mac OS X) →P.638 iPF6450 • When executing on a printer without a Spectrophotometer Unit mounted You can also reduce the variations in printed color tones when using paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper by creating a Calibration Target by using this printer with a Spectrophotometer Unit (optional) mounted and the included MCT. You can also execute color calibration even if you are using paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper by registering a Custom Media Information File that contains this Calibration Target using the included MCT on a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a spectrophotometer unit mounted. Furthermore, it is also possible to execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper even on remote printers (12-color models) that support calibration link by sending the Custom Media Information File that contains the Calibration Target by e-mail. This allows you to operate efficiently and at reduced cost because you can perform calibration operations on the paper you are using that unify color tones across workplaces. The following procedure using MCT is needed in order to perform color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper using a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a Spectrophotometer Unit mounted. 1 Register the media information using Add Custom Paper. 2 Add the Calibration Target information in Create Calibration Target to the created custom paper. 3 Save as a Custom Media Information File that contains the Calibration Target. 4 Add the Custom Media Information File to a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a Spectrophotometer Unit mounted. 5 Execute color calibration using the printer or the CCMC color management utility. For a detailed explanation, see the following. • Media Configuration Tool (Windows) →P.573 • Media Configuration Tool (Mac OS X) →P.605 Things That Can Be Done Using CCMC You can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility. For a detailed explanation, see the following. • Color Calibration Management Console (Windows) →P.846 • Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) →P.883 Color Management Color Calibration • Remotely executing color calibration You can remotely execute color calibration from a remote location. • Displaying the Advisability of executing color calibration Advisability of executing color calibration is displayed as a progress bar. This allows you to manage color efficiently because you can visually check roughly how long until color calibration is executed next. • Remotely Executing Color Check 830 You can remotely execute color check from a remote location. • Managing the color calibration logs of remotely connected printers The printer calibration logs are displayed in a list, making it possible to grasp the color management status of multiple remotely connected printers.
