Calibration: For when consistency is critical The newest imagePROGRAF Graphic Arts printers are uniquely equipped to overcome the effects of time and environment with the built-in ability to calibrate back to the original, optimal factory settings and then apply any necessary adjustments across all of the printer's media types in just minutes! This creates a more stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. Perhaps the best way to describe the impact this technology can have on your business - is to give you a scenario for consideration. Think of a photographer who has produced a large format portrait for a customer, a designer working for a corporate client, or an artist producing and oversized museum quality piece. Each has worked hard on their piece giving careful attention to every detail, the color and resolution are just right - and the print is perfect. Then a few months go by and their customer wants to order additional copies - perhaps for family members or a collector. This may sound easy enough, however, time and environmental conditions can effect any printer's performance and color reproduction. When this happens it could be difficult to reproduce a print that is a perfect match to the original made only a few months earlier. If you work in a busy multi-printer environment, the problem can be even more complex. This is when Canon's unique calibration function can make all the difference. To help ensure the best results, Canon has created a solution that simplifies sophisticated color science with a highly accurate sensor that scans and reads a calibration chart, makes calculations for color density, light and media and then automatically applies any necessary adjustments across all of the printer's media profiles. The profiles applied have been specifically optimized by Canon to address the unique requirements of printing large format images. The result is better overall quality and more reliable color reproduction across all of the printer's media types, from print to print, day after day.
