Q. Can any media be used for color calibration?
No. Please use specified media for color calibration. To ensure the high-precision color calibration,
we selected media that meet requirements for surface smoothness, color stability, color
reproduction, and other criteria. To check what types of media can be used for color calibration,
refer to the media guide for the printer or the Canon website.
Q. Is color calibration possible using non-specified media?
No, this is not possible. If non-specified media are used for color calibration, optimal performance
may not be maintained in some cases.
Q. Can color calibration applied to non-supported media?
No, this is not possible. Color calibration is only applied to supported media for the printer model.
Q. Is color stability poor if color calibration is not performed?
No. Even if color calibration is not performed, this printer employs extremely high-precision
control technology that prevents problems under normal conditions of use.
Q. Isn't the average: ∆E ≤ 2.0 still somewhat large?
This is the result taking into account the maximum possible variation in this printer due to
individual specificity of print head and aged deterioration. Normally, stability is demonstrated at
values less than this.
Q. Can users create ICC profiles?
Not on the printer itself. However, commercial tools can be used (such as Eye-One).
Q. Is automatic color calibration effective for both mult-ivalue data and binary data?
The new automatic color calibration feature is effective for mult-ivalue data. When dealing with
binary data, use the calibration function provided by the RIP.
