Color Calibration
Color ManagementDefinition
The process of adjusting the printer's color output to match a known standard, ensuring consistent and accurate color reproduction.
In-Depth Explanation
DesignJet printers offer several levels of color calibration: basic calibration through the front panel, advanced calibration using the built-in spectrophotometer (Z-Series), and custom ICC profiling using external measurement devices. Regular calibration is recommended, especially after changing ink cartridges, printheads, or when environmental conditions change significantly. Error 81:01 and 81:11 indicate calibration failures.
