Calibrating the Color Output Controlling Image Quality Selecting the Ink Emulation Mode 3500CP Only IMAGE QUALITY Color calib.= All menu modes Default: On Color calibration improves color consistency between prints, and from one printer to another. The printer prints a test image and measures the image color with a sensor to generate a color calibration table that is applied to the PostScript imaging process. This table enables the printer to compensate for changes in the printheads over their lifetime, changes in media, and changes in the operating environment that affect color. The menu settings for Color calibration are: On The printer calibrates the color when: s Ink systems are replaced. s A different media type is loaded. s Power is cycled using the Power switch on the rear of the printer. Now This selection causes the printer to immediately perform the color calibration procedure. If it is busy performing a task, it will finish the task first. Off No color calibration is done. NOTE:If queueing is on performing the color calibration will not only affect jobs in the queue. Comparing Color Output between Imaging and UV Ink Sysytems The two ink types available for your printer have different color characteristics, this produces different color output depending on your configuration and image source. For postscript files, the best match between the ink sets will be made with colorimetric mapping selected in the driver, however some colors may not be available in the addressable gamut of both ink sets. For the 3000CP, the color matching will be determined by your application software and/or the RIPs abilities. 9-3
