There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed after Printhead re-
placement because of individual variation among printheads. Execute color calibration.
Printhead characteristics gradually change through repeated use, and colors
may change. Execute color calibration.
Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer if you use a differ-
ent version of the firmware or printer driver, or when you print under different set-
tings or in a different printing environment. Follow these steps to prepare the printing environment.
1. Use the same version of firmware or printer driver.
2. Specify the same value for all settings items.
3. Execute color calibration.
When reinstalling the printer driver, you changed the region selection of the Me-
dia Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool deletes the re-
gion-specific paper information originally registered on the printer before installa-
tion. Using paper with deleted information when executing color calibration will
prevent the resulting calibration adjustment value from being applied to all other
types of the paper. Prepare paper compatible with calibration in the newly se-
lected region and perform calibration again.
