Calibrating the Color Output
2500CP Only 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:
NOTE:If queueing is on performing the color calibration will not affect jobs already
in the queue.
Comparing Color Output between Imaging and UV Ink
Systems
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 2000CP, the color matching will be determined by your application software
and/or the RIPs abilities.
On The printer calibrates the color when:
■ Ink systems are replaced.
■ A different media type is loaded.
■ 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.
