Color Correction

Color Correction Settings

You can perform color correction using the printer driver in the following three ways.

Choose the best method according to the application you are using, the operating system environment, the aim of the print out and so on.

Setting colors manually (Windows only)

Manually adjust the color space and color tone settings used for printing. This is useful if the application does not have its own color management function.

U “Setting colors manually (Windows only)” on page 29

Color management from the application (no color correction)

This method is for printing from applications that support color management. All color management processes are carried out by the application's color management system. This method is useful when you want to obtain the same color management results using a common application among different operating system environments.

U “Color management from the application (no color correction)” on page 32

Color management from the printer driver

Performs color management using the operating system's color management system. Windows uses ICM and Mac OS X uses ColorSync. This is effective in producing similar print results from different applications under the same operating systems. However, you also need an application that supports color management.

Intent Explanation

Saturation Performs conversion, without changing the current saturation.

Perceptual Performs conversion so that a more visually natural image is produced. This feature is used when a

wider gamut of color is used for image data.

Relative Colorimetric

Performs conversion so that a set of color gamut coordinates and w hite point (color temperature) coordinates in original data match their corresponding print coordinates. This feature is used for many types of color matching.

Page 36

Intent Explanation

Various Print Functions

Absolute Colorimetric

Set other items if necessary, and then print.

Performs conversion so that absolute color gamut coordinates are assigned to both the original and print data. Therefore, color tone adjustment is not performed on any white point (or color temperature) for the original or print data. This feature is used for special purposes such as logo color printing.

Various Print Functions

Borderless Printing

You can print your data without borders (margins).

The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size slightly larger than the paper size and prints the enlarged image. The sections which are beyond the paper edges are not printed; therefore, resulting in borderless printing. You can set the amount that extends beyond the edges of the paper in the printer driver.

Types of Borderless Printing Methods

You can perform borderless printing using the following two methods: Auto Expand or Retain Size.

Auto Expand

Use settings such as Page Layout in the applications to set the size of the image data as follows.

❏ Match the paper size and page setting for the print data.

❏ If the application has margin settings, set the margins to 0 mm.

❏ Make the image data as large as the paper size.

Retain Size

Create the print data larger than the actual paper size in the applications to produce borderless output. The printer driver does not enlarge the image data. Use settings such as Page Layout in the applications to set the size of the image data as follows.

❏ Make image size setting so that the print data is 1.69 mm larger to the left and right than the actual paper size.

❏ If the application has margin settings, set the margins to 0 mm.

❏ Make the image data as large as the paper size.

Troubleshooting

The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing prints

Cause What to do

The print head moves, but nothing prints.

The nozzle check pattern is not printed correctly.

Confirm the printer operation.

See the "Maintenance Tool Operation Guide" to print a nozzle check pattern, and then check the printer's operations and status.

Perform head cleaning.

The nozzles may be clogged. See the "Maintenance Tool Operation Guide" to perform head cleaning, and then try printing the nozzle check pattern again.

The prints are not what you expected

Cause What to do

Print quality is poor, uneven, too light, or too dark.

Are the print head nozzles clogged?

If the nozzles are clogged, specific nozzles do not fire ink and the print quality declines. See the "Maintenance Tool Operation Guide" to perform a nozzle check.

Are the Paper Type settings correct?

Make sure the Paper Type settings on the printer driver's Main screen match the paper to be printed on.

Have you compared the printing result with the image on the display monitor?

Since monitors and printers produce colors differently, printed colors will not always match on-screen colors perfectly.

The color is not exactly the same as another printer.

The print is not positioned properly on the paper.

Margins appear in borderless printing.

Colors vary depending on the printer type due to each printer's characteristics.

Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are developed for each printer model, the colors printed by different printer models are not exactly the same.

Have you specified the print area?

Check the print area in the settings of the application and the printer.

Are the paper size settings correct?

If the option selected for Paper Size in the printer driver does not match the paper size (width) loaded in the printer, the print may not be in the correct position or some of the data may be printed over the edges of the paper.

Check the Paper Size setting on the printer driver's Main screen.

Are the settings for the print data in the application correct?

Make sure that the paper settings in the application are correct as well as in the printer driver.
