4.11Pictrography 4500N Color Adjustment
The Pictrography 4500N is equipped with the functions for calibration, color control, and color matching.
To ensure optimum performance on the Pictrography 4500N, each of these functions should be fully understood.
●Calibration function
Maintains the color conditions on the main unit at the optimum level. (See page 62.)
●Color control function
Controls the colors and densities on the monitor screen so that they match those of the finished prints. The setup value depends on the monitor screen set conditions.
Example: If the monitor screen is set at high brightness, the actual image data will be darker than it should be, as well as the prints produced from the image data.
In such a case, the brightness of the print colors can be increased with the color control function so that they match the tone on the screen.
The color control function provides the following adjustments. When making prints on the Pictrography 4500N, make the adjustments as needed.
● | Brightness: | Adjusts the brightness of the finished prints. (See page 64.) |
● | Contrast: | Adjusts the contrast of the finished prints. (See page 65.) |
●Color balance: Adjusts the color balance of the finished prints. (See page 65 for red, page 66 for green, and page 66 for blue.)
IMPORTANT: The above adjustments easily affect one another. Always monitor the overall color balance when adjusting.
●Color matching function
Matches the colors and density of the monitor screen to those of the finished prints. (See page 67.)
