Color adjustment
Note
• W e recommend using only one type of paper for color calibration. Using the same type of paper for
color calibration can improve color consistency .
• For better color consistency , we recommend performing color calibration under the same conditions of
temperature and humidity each time.
• For further adjustment of the color of documents as printed applying color calibration, adjust the color in
the printer driver . ( → P .237)

imagePROGRAF Status Monitor (in Windows) or imagePROGRAF Printmonitor (on a Macintosh
computer) in the MAIN MENU on the Control Panel .
For menu details, see “Main Menu Settings”. (→P .54)
