Advanced Features to the Calibration Software

The Calibration Software provides automated neutral density printer calibration and is designed to be used without assistance from technical experts. The advanced calibration features provided by this product enable you to customize the calibration of the printer. To use the advanced features, you should understand image science technology and the implications of manipulating neutral density calibrations.

IMPORTANT: Printer calibration should not be mistaken for color management. Color management is provided by software applications that are independent of the printer and the calibration software.

Viewing Graphs

The View Graphs feature provides access to the available graphs from the most recently completed calibration.

Examples of the Value, Difference, and History Graphs are shown below. The Value and Difference Graphs reflect the densitometer values that were last read. The History Graph displays the data from completed calibrations.
