3. Gray Calibration
A gray calibration may help reduce color shifts in gray areas.
To make a gray calibration, proceed as follows:
•
Check the box M O D I F Y D E F A U L T G R A Y V A L U E .
•
Click P R I N T T A R G E T to get a calibration target.
•
Cut out the black & white mask on the left of the target along the trim lines and take the square out of the center.
•
With the mask, find the most neutral gray tone within each level and enter the corresponding coordinates in the
window.
•
Check the new settings via P R I N T T E S T S H E E T .
4. Linearization
Every LED printer has a slightly different curve of printing density. To achieve linear colors you can calibrate KIP Color 80 and
KIP Color 7800 with a spectrometer.
Please select your appropriate spectrometer press Print Target and afterwards start Measure Target.
For a successful linearization the date and time will be displayed.
