● Whenever a new substrate type is introduced that has not yet been calibrated. ● Whenever you notice excessive color differences between prints. Such color differences are mainly caused by aging and wear of the printheads, installing new printheads, and changes in substrate characteristics between one roll and another. You can check the color calibration status of your substrate by pressing on the front panel. ● Recommended status indicates that this substrate has never been calibrated. In this case, the factorydefault color tables will be applied to print jobs, as there is no reference state defined. After one or more color calibrations have been performed, pressing the Reset button returns the status to Recommended. ● Done status indicates that a color calibration has been performed successfully at least once on this substrate, and therefore a color reference state is defined. ● Obsolete status indicates that the last color calibration may be out of date. For instance, color calibration status is set to Obsolete whenever a printhead is replaced. The color reference state remains defined. ● N/A indicates that this substrate cannot be color-calibrated. NOTE: Generic substrates cannot be color-calibrated, although such substrates may be suitable for color calibration. You can color-calibrate clones of most generic substrates. TIP: If color calibration fails, it is worth trying again. TIP: If the first color calibration of a new substrate fails, press the Reset button before trying again. Color consistency between different printers (360 and 370 only) It is possible to cross-calibrate color between two or more printers for particular substrates. After crosscalibrating a given substrate, you can expect to get very similar prints from either printer when using the same substrate. 1. Choose printer A to be the reference printer, and use it to perform color calibration on the substrate in question. See Color calibration on page 97. 2. Export the calibrated substrate preset. See HP Media Locator on page 89. 3. Import the substrate preset of step 2 into printer B. See HP Media Locator on page 89. 4. Color-calibrate the preset with printer B. 5. Colors printed with printer A and printer B, on that substrate, should now be very similar. 6. To add more printers (C, D, and so on), proceed as you did with printer B.
