Color calibration for the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS
Color calibration is essential to insuring good color quality. The purpose of calibration is to measure how the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS is printing the requested colors and to then make any corrections that are required.
The operator calibrates the printer when color output begins to drift. One calibration procedure uses a BuildProfile option to build an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile and a Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD) file.
Following a calibration at the printer, which uses the BuildProfile option, the system constructs an ICC profile that describes the response of the printer using the current calibration. For PostScript documents, the system also produces a PostScript CRD file. The CRD file on the printer controller is used if your PostScript file does not have one included.
ICC profile In order to allow consistency between your workstation and the printer, you can transfer the ICC profile to your workstation using an ftp utility. Refer to your workstation documentation or administrator for information on using ftp.
The ICC profiles are located in the controller directory /var/db/ colortables.
The profile filename displays as:
There may be more than one ICC profile. For example, an operator may create different profiles for different paper stocks. In case of multiple ICC profiles, ask your operator or administrator about the one to use for your document.
Refer to your application document for information on using the
ICC profile.
For more information on color calibration for the printer, refer to the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System, “Setting system defaults” chapter, “Setting color calibrations” section.
