Adjustments for Better Print Quality
Monitor Matching
The sequence in monitor matching is as follows.
1.
Calibrate the printer.
Calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears due to individu-
al variation among printheads or conditions in various printing environments.
(See "Using Color Calibration for Color Adjustment.")
2.
Calibrate the monitor.
Normally, you can use a colorimeter such as the i1-Display.
Set the white point to 6500 K or 5000 K, the gamma to 2.2, and the brightness to 120 cd, and activate light source
measurement.
The exact procedure varies depending on your monitor and measurement device.
3.
Open the file to print and configure settings in the source application.
Display the file in the sRGB or Adobe RGB color space.
Configure settings to prevent color conversion by the application.
In Photoshop CS3, for example, select Color Management in the Print dialog box, and then select No Color Man-
agement in Color Handling.
4.
Configure and adjust printer driver settings.
Select Monitor Matching in Matching Method. Specify the Monitor White Point set during monitor calibration
and the Color Temperature and Illuminance measured in the ambient light.
In Color Space, select the color space used when displaying the file in the source application.
If you own an i1-Pro, using Light Source Measure Tool enables more precision measurement of the ambient light.
