Kodak 1H9659 Calibrating the Printer, Visual Gray Balance

Calibration Utility for MACINTOSH

Part No. 8B9045 July 1996

Calibrating the Printer

You can now calibrate your printer by running the Visual Gray Balance

and Visual Linearity calibration procedures.

If you have a densitometer, you can run just the Densitometer calibration

procedure. You do not have to do Visual Gray Balance and Visual

Linearity calibrations. Refer to “Running a Densitometer Calibration”

on page 2–36.

Visual Gray Balance calibrates your printer so it produces a neutral gray.

The Calibration Utility allows you to select from three Visual Gray Balance

calibration prints. Each of these prints presents 49 numbered grayscale

clusters. Each cluster is made up of four boxes of varying densities. A Visual

Gray Balance calibration print looks similar to the following example.

The clusters on the three prints include a range of colors. Clusters in the

upper left corner will have a green hue. Clusters in the lower right corner

will have a magenta hue. Three different calibration prints allow you to

choose the degree of color shift.
