3.2.2 Media calibration
Media calibration ensures that the sensor is able to recognize the markers. OPOS is
calibrated at the factory to work on a wide range of media. However, certain media --
such as those with a high gloss -- may not work with the default settings. Before
working with such materials, perform a media calibration test. This test will alter
OPOS’s sensitivity so that it will read the markers with greater reliability.
Print a square measuring at least 4x4cm on the media that will be used. Be sure to
use the same ink that will be used when creating the registration markers.
Doing media calibration:
1. Turn on the cutter and load the vinyl with the printed square.

to remeasure it.
