The Optim. for drawings/text print takes about three minutes, the Optimize for images print takes
about five minutes. When the calibration print has finished printing, the printer will cut the paper.
Step 6. Look at each of the printed patterns (1 to 7) and decide which one shows the best quality. Each
pattern has one part on the left that is a continuous color gradient (A), and another part on the right (B).
Either part can be used to help you decide which is the best of the series of patterns; it will depend on
your circumstances. However, if you are using glossy paper or canvas, you are recommended to ignore
part A and make your selection by looking at part B only.
In the color gradient, part A, you should look for light or dark horizontal bands (banding), which indicate
that the paper advance is not quite right. Usually you will see dark bands across the first pattern and
light bands across the last pattern (see the examples below). The best pattern is one with no banding; if
in doubt, select the pattern in the middle, between the last pattern with dark bands and the first pattern
with light bands.
