Operating instructions for calibrating printers using X-Rite i1Profiler and ColorPort software with spectrophotometers.
This guide provides operating instructions and a calibration guide for using the X-Rite i1Profiler and ColorPort software in conjunction with a printer and spectrophotometer. It explains how to calibrate the printer for accurate color output, including steps for creating new calibration data, selecting calibration for a paper, and using test charts.
The document details procedures for both i1Profiler and ColorPort software. It covers registering test charts, printing color calibration pages, preparing the spectrophotometer, scanning the pages, and loading the resulting calibration data. The guide also explains when calibration is necessary, such as when using new paper or changing toner bottles.
You should perform a calibration when you use a new paper for the first time, when you change toner bottles, or if printed colors change over time.
You can select high accuracy when printing with SRA3, A3, or 11 × 17 paper.
We recommend printing several color calibration pages and using the second and successive printouts for calibration.
