Close-Loop-Color (CLC) Calibration
   

CLC Calibration improves color consistency between prints, and from one printer to another. The printer calibrates the color by printing a "calibration strip" and then scanning the strip with a builtin optical sensor. The printer will then calculate the color correction required, which is then applied to all the subsequent prints.

CLC Calibration can be performed automatically or manually. To turn the automatic calibration On or Off, choose the printer icon, then Internal RIP Settings > Color Calibration.

ON - An Automatic calibration is performed whenever the current set of printheads and the current printing material have not previously been calibrated together.

OFF - The printer uses a default color correction, different for each printing material and print quality setting.

A CLC calibration can be started manually at any time: choose the
printer icon, then Utilities > Calibrations > Color Calibration.
