Calibrating Your System to Another

Modifying the ICC Profile

To calibrate your RS-5000 or RS-5100 to the printer you will

 

ultimately use for your final product, you need to obtain a

 

printout from your vendor. EPSON recommends using a printout

of one the standard color charts. See the instructions below.

If you want to use a printout of a color chart from your printing vendor, rather than the provided chart, see “Using a custom color chart to update your ICC profile” on page 4-6.

Preparing to measure the standard color chart

First you need to obtain the printed color chart from your vendor. Then you prepare for measuring by calibrating the black and white points. Follow these steps:

1.Have your printing vendor print a color chart using one of the files provided with your calibrator. These files are in the Chart folder of your EPSON Color Calibrator folder and are named chart.tif and chart.eps.

Note:

Be sure to have the chart printed on the same type of paper as that of your final print.
