HP DesignJet CP Series Printers
C07. Color Calib. (Only available in DesignJet 2500CP/3500CP printer)
The purpose of this calibration is to determine a correction function to be
applied in PostScript in order to match the color reproduction of a nominal
Printer. This Calibration is necessary to improve color consistency between
different prints and different Printers. This calibration is also independent
of color accuracy or matching color from a monitor to the Printer.
Perform the Color calibration whenever:
D Carriage is disassembled or replaced.
D There is a color consistency problem between prints.
D Refill Assembly is disassembled or replaced.
D Electronics Module is replaced.
