Introduction to how to ensure the best output quality
Introduction
This chapter describes how to make sure you have the best quality for your print jobs.
It is important to know that the quality of your output depends on both the scan
quality of the scanner and the print quality of the printer.
■ The Océ TCS500 offers several methods that help you to define the best print
mode for your job. These methods are described in the Define the output quality
section of this chapter.
■ The Océ TCS500 has 3 methods that help you to identify and analyze changes in
the output quality, the 'Quality check' print, the 'Tone scale area check' print, and
the 'Demo print'. The Check the output quality section of this chapter describes
these 3 methods.
■ When you find problems with the output quality, the Optimize the output
quality section of this chapter helps you to correct the problems.
To optimize the colorrs of your printed output, you can adjust the Color Management
settings. The Color Management section of this chapter gives an overview of these
Color Management settings.
When to do
Only do actions to optimize the output quality based on the information supplied in
the 'Check the output quality' section.
When you are not satisfied with the output quality, use the following procedure
1. Make sure that you loaded and defined the correct media type on the printer.
Use the 'Change media type' wizard to change the media type defined on the system.
(see ‘Replace the media’ on page 241).
Also make sure you defined the correct media type for your job.
2. Make sure you defined the correct output mode for your job. (see ‘The quality
modes’ on page 187).
3. Finally, when you have defined the correct media and the correct print mode, and you
are still not satisfied with the output quality, use the wizards to achieve optimal
output quality. (see ‘Optimize the output quality on the printer’ on page 208).
