Guidelines for Successful Calibration

To ensure your calibration is as accurate as possible, check the following guidelines before you calibrate:

•Ensure that your X-Rite DTP34 QuickCal densitometer is connected properly

•Ensure that your X-Rite DTP34 QuickCal densitometer is calibrated. You should calibrate the device at least once a week, or whenever the power to the device is interrupted. Use the manufacturer calibration chart supplied with the device. After you finish calibrating the device, make sure you store the chart in the designated envelope.

•To warm up the printer, use any media to print at least 25 duplex sheets of any four color test job.

•Print a reference job and use the same media and screen type on which you will print the final job.

•Prepare the calibration pad to measure the calibration charts. If a calibration pad is not available, set a white media, at least 200 gsm, or two sheets of lighter paper, on the surface. Read the calibration chart on this surface.

•Set the Spire CX250 color server emulation method to the method you will use to print the customer job (Device Link).
