Printed colors are inaccurate
Color adjustment has not been activated in the
Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
Colors have not been adjusted on the computer or
monitor.
The Printhead nozzles are clogged.
In the printer driver, Application Color Matching
Priority is not selected.
There may be a slight difference in how colors are
printed after you replace the Printhead because of
individual variation among Printheads .
Printhead characteristics gradually change through
repeated use, and colors may change.
Color may change slightly even on the same model
of printer if you use a different version of the rmware
or printer driver, or when you print under different
settings or in a different printing environment.
The region selection of the Media Conguration Tool
was changed when you reinstalled the printer driver.
If you change the region selection of the Media
Conguration Tool, region-specic paper information
originally registered on the printer before installation
will be deleted. If the information of paper you used
for color calibration is deleted, such color calibration
can no longer be applied to any type of paper.
