Color calibration aligns the inkjets of the cartridges to each other. Misalignment can result from
small tolerance variations in cartridges during manufacturing and from cartridge alignment in the
printer. Color test patterns let you check the horizontal and vertical alignment values and adjust
them for the best printing results. A loupe is provided in the accessory box to help you check the
prints.
You should perform Color Deadband Compensation before perfoming Color Calibration. Perform
Color Deadband Calibration and Color Calibration each time a cartridge is replaced with a different
cartridge. If you remove and reinstall the same cartridge, only Color Calibration needs to be
performed.
