Using Calibrator

All these pages include fully saturated color patches and pale tints of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Images with skin tones offer a very good basis for comparison. Save and compare pages you printed at different times. If there is a noticeable change in appearance, calibrate the GA-1121.

When you examine the Test Page, all color patches should be visible, even though they may be very faint in the five percent and two percent range. Each color’s patch set should show uniform gradation from patch to patch as the color lightens from 100 percent to zero percent.

If the solid density patches (100% cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) look less saturated with time, show the pages to your copier/printer service technician to determine whether adjusting the copier/printer can improve output.

Checking calibration status

To verify whether the GA-1121 is calibrated, which calibration set and output profile were used, and when the copier/printer was last calibrated:

Print a Configuration page or Test Page from the Control Panel or Command WorkStation.

Select a calibration set in Calibrator (available from ColorWise Pro Tools)—the last calibration and the user who performed it are displayed.

Using Calibrator

ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator allows you to calibrate the GA-1121 using the measurement method of your choice.

Changing the calibration has the potential to affect all jobs for all users, so consider limiting the number of people authorized to perform calibration. Set an Administrator password to control access to calibration (see the Configuration Guide).

NOTE: Multiple users can be connected to one GA-1121 with ColorWise Pro Tools, but only one user at a time can use Calibrator. An error message appears if you try to calibrate when another user is using ColorWise Pro Tools to calibrate.
