Color Misalignment Colors appear misaligned. Typically, lines and text are most affected by this issue. Likely causes ● Misalignment between colors. See Printhead alignment on page 227. Accuracy Ideally, the colors that you see on the screen should match the colors on the print. In practice, you may find that the colors are not sufficiently accurate. Likely causes ● ● ● Color calibration provides consistent colors, but consistent colors are not necessarily accurate. However, if the combination of substrate and printheads has not been calibrated recently (or ever), that is a possible source of color inaccuracy. You can eliminate the possibility by performing a color calibration. See Color calibration on page 93. If you are using the wrong ICC profile, your colors are likely to be inaccurate. Check which profile you are using. If necessary, you can make your own ICC profile for the printer, printheads, print modes, and substrate that you are using. See Print mode on page 226 and Substrate settings on page 227. Ink density affects color saturation. If the color saturation of your print seems wrong, try changing the ink density in the substrate preset; you may need to change the number of passes at the same time. See Substrate settings on page 227. Grain The print shows a higher level of grain than expected, either throughout the print or in some specific areas. The examples below show the typical grainy morphology in textile and paper samples. Textile Paper 230 Chapter 13 Troubleshoot print-quality issues ENWW
