Color management 5 Color management Color calibration Color calibration enables your printer to produce consistent colors with the particular printheads, inks, and paper type that you are using, and under your particular environmental conditions. After color calibration, you can expect to get identical prints from any two different printers situated in different geographical locations. Calibration should be done in any of the following circumstances: ● Whenever a printhead is replaced ● Whenever a new paper type is introduced that has not yet been calibrated with the current set of printheads ● Whenever a certain amount of printing has been done since the last calibration ● Whenever the printer has been turned off for a long period of time ● Whenever the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) change significantly The printer usually reminds you with an alert whenever you need to perform color calibration, unless you have disabled the alerts. However, if the environmental conditions change, the printer will not be aware of it. You can check the color calibration status of the currently loaded paper at any time by pressing the View loaded paper key on the front panel. The status may be one of the following: ● PENDING: the paper has not been calibrated. NOTE Whenever you update the printer's firmware, the color calibration status of all papers is reset to PENDING. See Update the firmware on page 41. ● OBSOLETE: the paper has been calibrated, but the calibration is now out of date for one of the reasons mentioned above, and should be repeated.

Color calibration
Color calibration enables your printer to produce consistent colors with the
particular printheads, inks, and paper type that you are using, and under
your particular environmental conditions. After color calibration, you can
expect to get identical prints from any two different printers situated in
different geographical locations.
Calibration should be done in any of the following circumstances:
●
Whenever a printhead is replaced
●
Whenever a new paper type is introduced that has not yet been
calibrated with the current set of printheads
●
Whenever a certain amount of printing has been done since the last
calibration
●
Whenever the printer has been turned off for a long period of time
●
Whenever the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity)
change significantly
The printer usually reminds you with an alert whenever you need to perform
color calibration, unless you have disabled the alerts. However, if the
environmental conditions change, the printer will not be aware of it.
You can check the color calibration status of the currently loaded paper at
any time by pressing the
View loaded paper
key on the front panel. The
status may be one of the following:
●
PENDING: the paper has not been calibrated.
NOTE
Whenever you update the printer's firmware, the color
calibration status of all papers is reset to PENDING. See
Update the firmware
on page
41
.
●
OBSOLETE: the paper has been calibrated, but the calibration is now
out of date for one of the reasons mentioned above, and should be
repeated.
