6. PRINTER COLOR CALIBRATION AND SUBSTRATE COLOR PROFILING
The printer can already be used with the color preset you have selected when following the “Add New
Substrate” procedure. However, depending on your color accuracy requirements, you may want to do
the following:
- Color-calibrate the printer
This operation measures the current color performance of your printer and brings it to a known
stable point. This is useful if you need color consistency over time—even if you change ink
cartridges or printheads. The procedure should be repeated whenever the ambient conditions
change significantly or after changing any printhead. See your RIP manual for details on how to
launch the calibration.
- Color-profile your substrate
If the color profile you are using corresponds to a substrate other than the one in your printer, then
the colors may not be completely accurate. If this is a problem, you can proceed to profile your
substrate using your RIP’s usual process. Consult your RIP documentation for more details.
