17. Customer-Defined Image Quality Adjustments and
Recommendations
Customer-defined image quality adjustments enable the customer to enhance the
productivity of the machine. There are several user modes, such as the Device
Management Settings and Paper Type Management Settings modes, which
provide adjustment functions to help maintain the desired color consistency for
each job. These settings also aim at reproducing optimal images under any
variable factors (i.e., changes in the environment, deterioration due to aging, etc.).
To achieve the best image quality, the following factors are recommended:
• Tighter control of the temperature and humidity will result in tighter color
consistency in the device.
• The device must be properly maintained, which includes performing preventative
maintenance as scheduled.
• The customer should maintain proper color calibration on the device by
performing a Shading Correction, Auto Gradation Adjustment, and imagePRESS
Server Calibration once a day. For optimal quality, the customer should also
perform an Auto Gradation Adjustment whenever a change in print quality is
noticed and when dither pattern adjustments are made. Use only
28 lb (105 g/m
2
) Hammermill Laser 11” x 17” paper when performing an Auto
Gradation Adjustment.
• Some customers may want to incorporate a Color Management workflow that
consists of not only the above, but also utilizes the Color and Imaging features
included with the imagePRESS Servers or comparable third-party software.
Best Practices: While working, Color Management needs to be implemented with
consistency. This, along with a stable environment and a well-maintained digital
press, will make the customer’s ability to achieve color reproducibility more efficient.
Discipline and consistency are the keys.
