Calibrating color

Calibrate the color only when the tri-color (HP No. 57) and photo (HP No. 58) print cartridges are installed together. The photo print cartridge is available for purchase as an optional accessory (see HP Supplies and Accessories).

Calibrating color is only necessary when printed colors have visibly shifted toward yellow, cyan or magenta, or there is a color tinge in the gray shades. Prior to calibration, print a diagnostic page for color and check ink levels to ensure that print cartridges are functioning properly.

For calibrating instructions, see Calibrating color.

For information on replacing the black print cartridge with the photo print cartridge, refer to Replacing the print cartridges. You need to align the print cartridges for best possible print quality. For instructions, see Aligning the print cartridges.

It is not necessary to calibrate the color when in single-cartridge printing mode or when printing using the tri-color print cartridge in combination with the black print cartridge. For more information on single-cartridge printing mode, see Single-cartridge printing mode.

1Open the printer driver.
