The process takes about 8–10 minutes and consists of the following steps.
1. A calibration test chart is printed, which contains patches of each ink
used in your printer.
2. The test chart is allowed to dry for a period of time that depends on
the paper type, so that the colors have time to stabilize.
3. The test chart is scanned and measured using the HP Embedded
Spectrophotometer.
4. From the measurements made by the spectrophotometer, the printer
calculates the necessary correction factors to apply for consistent color
printing on that paper type. It also calculates the maximum amount of
each ink that can be applied to the paper.
