Q7. WHAT DO I DO IF THE COLOR TONES OF THE PRINTED MATERIAL
DO NOT MATCH?
A7. If the color tones do not match between printers even after configuring the calibration link
settings, check the following table and perform the corrective actions for the corresponding
items.
Execute color calibration after you have finished all of the corrective actions.
Item Corrective Action
Is the custom paper you are using compatible
with calibration link?
Use custom paper that meets the conditions
listed on P. 7.
Do the whiteness and texture of the loaded
custom paper differ between the printers?
Load custom paper that has comparable
whiteness and texture.
Is the printed material dirty? Check the interior of the upper cover of the
printer and the interior of the
spectrophotometer unit, and clean them if
they are dirty. (See "Cleaning the Printer" in
"Maintenance and Consumables" in the
"User's Guide")
Are the printhead nozzles clogged? Print a nozzle check pattern, and if the
nozzles are clogged, execute printhead
cleaning.
If the clogged nozzles are not cleared by
cleaning the printhead, replace the printhead.
(See "Printheads" in "Maintenance and
Consumables" in the "User's Guide")
Is the printer in the calibration link state? Run CCMC and check the calibration group in
the Printer list.
If the calibration groups are not the same
because the paper type settings are different,
change the paper type settings in the printer
control panel. (See "Changing the Type of
Paper" in "Enhanced Printing Options" in the
"User's Guide")
