Adjustment Types of Color Calibration
Adjustment Types of Color Calibration
Color calibration allows you to adjust colors for each media type.
There are two adjustment types: common calibration and unique calibration. The appropriate type
depends on the media type being used.
For details on whether or not color calibration can be executed and the adjustment types for various types
of paper, see Paper Information List.
Features
Common Calibration
When you calibrate Canon genuine paper using common calibration, the results are also applied to
any other media types for which calibration has not yet been executed.
This allows you to use multiple media types quickly because it is not necessary to execute color
calibration for each media type.
• If color calibration is executed on a media type categorized as common calibration, new common•
calibration adjustment values are set.
◦ New common calibration adjustment values are set for paper for which color calibration has
not been performed.
◦ New common calibration values are not overwritten for media types for which color calibration
has already been performed. The current calibration adjustment values take priority.
The common calibration adjustment values apply to all print qualities.
Unique Calibration
When you calibrate a media type using unique calibration, only the selected paper is adjusted. Other
media types are not affected.
• If color calibration is executed on a media type categorized as unique calibration, new unique•
calibration adjustment values are set specifically for the paper.
Note
• If color calibration has not been executed, any newly set common calibration values will be
applied.
Note
• If the paper being used does not support color calibration, execute color calibration for a media•
type categorized as common calibration in advance. The common calibration adjustment values even
apply to the paper being used.
Example: Execute color calibration with the default settings
The following describes adjusting media types A to D. A, B and D use common calibration, and C uses
unique calibration.
• First: Execute color calibration with media type A (categorized as common calibration)•
