Calibrating color

Calibrate the color only when the tri-color (HP No. 57) and photo (HP No. 58)
print cartridges are installed together. The photo print cartridge is available for
purchase as an optional accessory (see

HP Supplies and Accessories

).

Calibrating color is only necessary when printed colors have visibly shifted
toward yellow, cyan or magenta, or there is a color tinge in the gray shades.
Prior to calibration, print a diagnostic page for color and check ink levels to
ensure that print cartridges are functioning properly.
