[Color Validation]
Overview
[Color Validation] is a function for evaluating current color reproducibility by measuring printed charts and comparing the actual output results (measured value) with the preset reference (target value). This function displays the result of comparing the measured value with the target value.
Implement Daily Adjustment Flow (High Precision) if the results of the comparison between the measured value and target value show that the color value discrepancy (ΔE) is outside of the allowable range.
NOTICE
- Intelligent Quality Optimizer IQ-501 is required to use this function.
NOTICE
- [Target Settings] must be created before performing [Color Validation].
Recommended Implementation Timings
- When printing successive jobs: 2 times a day before printing
- When printing a single job: before printing

Step 1
Target Setting
Register and set [Printer Profile Name], which has been configured with the optimal condition settings, to [Target Profile] as the target (standard image condition). Alternatively, select [Target Profile] for the target printing standard.
Step 2
Color Validation
Check the value of ΔE, and decide whether or not maintenance is required.
