Oce ColorStream - Performing a Color Test

Performing a Color Test
Introduction
The colors can be manually tested via the 'Color check' menu. In doing so the full and
half tone of each individual color is measured and optimized using a reference test print
job. This mode can last up to 20 minutes. When optimization is complete, normal print
operation can be restarted.
Applications
The 'Color check' function is recommended in the following cases:
■
If the tone transfer curve is to be checked in the current status of the printing system
■
For very high quality requirements after longer phases without full color printing
■
For very high quality requirements after longer period of time in standby
■
For very high quality requirements if the color control is switched on again after longer
phases of print operation with the color control switched off
■
For error messages regarding internal half tone control (EL.117.089 ... EL.117.093 /
EL.117.124 ... EL.117.128 / EU.117.089 ... EU.117.093 / EU.117.124 ...
EU.117.128)
Example:
EL.117.089: 'OPC lower print unit (developer station 10): Determined tone transfer
curve outside the limit range'
