Standardized Calibration Process for the
imagePRESS C1 Series with Server
Calibrations
Canon
Please read this disclosure before proceeding.
The printer should be stabilized before performing the following
adjustments. If the printer has not been operating for a period of
time, it is recommended that at least 50 sheets of 11x17 images be
printed before starting the adjustments. Determine if it is possible
for your customer to manage jobs so that a non color critical job
can be run before performing the following procedures. This should
sufficiently stabilize the printer and reduce any additional cost to
the Customer.
In the RIP calibration process, step 16-23, CUSA suggests using the
21 sorted patches for the measurement page. Overall this should
provide satisfactory image quality. If your customer is still not
satisfied with the printer output using the 21 sorted, performing the
calibration procedure using the 34 sorted or either of the
randomized measurement pages may provide more satisfactory
output.
