How do I check the color calibration?

Your is designed to give prints of an excellent quality. To ensure that the quality is always best, you will need to perform a color calibration at various times. After you have done the calibration, the calibration data is stored in your computer and is used the next time you print with the same type of paper loaded.

 

To check when you last calibrated the 10ps or 20ps printer...

  • Select the Setup menu in the HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps software.
  • Select the Default settings dialog box.
  • Select the Color Calibration Curve tab.
  • You will see a list of the media for which the printer has been calibrated, together with their time stamps.
  • If the media that is loaded is shown and the calibration was performed recently (say, within two weeks), select it and then Close.
  • If the media loaded is not shown in the list or the date of calibration is not recent, you will have to perform a calibration or import a calibration file from another computer. Calibration files for the same printer can be imported and exported using the Import... and Export... buttons and an appropriate shared file. When you have completed any importing or exporting, or if you intend to perform a color calibration, click on Close.
