Color calibration for the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS
Color calibration is essential to insuring good color quality. The
purpose of calibration is to measure how the DocuColor 2060
NPS/IPS is printing the requested colors and to then make any
corrections that are required.
The operator calibrates the printer when color output begins to
drift. One calibration procedure uses a BuildProfile option to
build an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile and a Color
Rendering Dictionary (CRD) file.
Following a calibration at the printer, which uses the BuildProfile
option, the system constructs an ICC profile that describes the
response of the printer using the current calibration. For
PostScript documents, the system also produces a PostScript
CRD file. The CRD file on the printer controller is used if your
PostScript file does not have one included.
ICC profile
In order to allow consistency between your workstation and the
printer, you can transfer the ICC profile to your workstation using
an ftp utility. Refer to your workstation documentation or
administrator for information on using ftp.
The ICC profiles are located in the controller directory /var/db/
colortables.
The profile filename displays as: ICC-########-#, where the
first eight digits represent the date YYYYMMDD; the remaining
digit is an index. For example: ICC-20010823-2.
There may be more than one ICC profile. For example, an
operator may create different profiles for different paper stocks.
In case of multiple ICC profiles, ask your operator or
administrator about the one to use for your document.
Refer to your application document for information on using the
ICC profile.
