HP 9600 manual Calibrating color, For Windows

Calibrating color

Calibrating color is only necessary when printed colors have visibly shifted towards yellow, cyan, or magenta, or there is a tinge of color in the gray shades.

￿ Calibrate the color only when the color and photo print cartridges are installed together.

￿It is not necessary to calibrate the color when printing using the color print cartridge in combination with the black print cartridge or when printing with a single print cartridge. See “Printing with a single print cartridge”.

If the color-related problem still persists after performing a color calibration, the problem may be caused by a low or empty print cartridge. Check the ink levels, replace any low or empty print cartridges (see “Installing or replacing the print cartridges”), and then print again.

To check the print cartridge ink levels:

￿Windows: See “Using the Toolbox”.

￿Macintosh: See “Displaying the HP Inkjet Toolbox”.
