Paper that Can Be Used in Color Calibration
Color calibration has two adjustment types, Common calibration and Unique calibration, with one of these selected when color calibration is executed.
The selected adjustment type is determined from the media type that color calibration is executed on.
Common Calibration
Common calibration is a feature that allows you to use multiple media types easily in a short time because it is not necessary to execute color calibration on each media type.
If color calibration is executed on paper categorized as Common calibration, dedicated calibration adjustment values are set on the media type that Common calibration was executed on.
Furthermore, calibration adjustment values are set on all print qualities for all media types where color calibration has not been executed.
Note
- The calibration adjustment values are not overwritten for media types where color calibration has been executed once and dedicated calibration adjustment values have been set.
Example: Calibration is executed on media type A (adjustment type: Common).
Calibration values for media type A and media type B, for which dedicated calibration values have not been set, are applied.
B: Media type to which dedicated calibration adjustment values are not set
C: Media type to which dedicated calibration adjustment values are set
Unique Calibration
If color calibration is executed on paper categorized as Unique calibration, calibration adjustment values are set only for the media type that the color calibration was executed on.
Note
- Even if paper categorized as Unique calibration is used, if the media type has yet to execute color calibration even once and does not have any dedicated calibration adjustment values, the calibration adjustment values are overwritten when Common calibration is executed.
Example: Calibration is executed on media type D (adjustment type: Unique).
Calibration adjustment values are applied only to media type D.
E: Media types other than D
Media Type and Adjustment Type
| Media Name <Model No.> | Color Calibration Adjustment Type |
|---|---|
| Photo Paper Pro Platinum <PT-101> | Common calibration |
| Photo Paper Pro Luster <LU-101> | |
| Photo Paper Pro Premium Matte <PM-101> | |
| Premium Fine Art Smooth <FA-SM1> | |
| Photo Paper Plus Glossy II <PP-201/PP-301> | Unique calibration |
| Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss <SG-201> | |
| Matte Photo Paper <MP-101> |
* If the paper you are using is not in the above table, execute color calibration using the paper where the adjustment type is Common calibration, then you can set the calibration adjustment values for the paper you are using.
Page Sizes that Can Be Used
Page sizes that can be used in color calibration are as follows.
- Unused paper of A4, A2, Letter, or 17" x 22" (43 x 56 cm) size
