Stock Management and Calibration3-4 Color Management GuideCalibrating the DocuColor 2045/2060/6060 familyFor the DC 2045/2060 and 6060, you should calibrate at leastonce or twice a day or more often when printing jobs that are“color-critical.”The default number of prints of the calibration targets is 5 for theDC 2045/2060/6060 family. However, you may choose to print asmany as 200 calibration targets at one time; we recommendprinting 5 prints (of the 2-page target) and then choosing the 5thprint to use for calibration.Calibrating the DocuColor iGen3Calibration should be performed at least once per color group,per halftone per eight hour shift for the DocuColor iGen3.For example, if jobs to be printed during the night shift requireStock A using 175 dot halftone for job #1 and a 200 dot halftonefor job #2, a calibration is needed for Stock A at 175 dot and at200 dot.These calibrations are assigned to Stock A with a 175 dothalftone and Stock A with a 200 dot halftone.When calibrating 8.5 x 11 - A4 stock print 40 single sided copiesof the (2-page) target. For larger sized stock print 20 single sidedcopies of the target; we recommend using the final print forcalibration.Calibration target tipsDocuSP calibration software checks the first color at the top ofeach calibration strip as a method of insuring that strips 1-13 areread in the correct order. If the top color is not detected, or isdetected improperly, calibration fails. Due to image-to-page topvariation associated mainly with the iGen3 engine, calibrationerrors can occur if you pushes the target too far into theSpectrophotometer.Primarily, this can occur using the 11”x17” calibration targets,which must be cut down manually to 8.5”x17” in order to feedcorrectly into the X-Rite. This introduces the image-to-page topvariation previously mentioned.This section provides pictorial instructions for successfulcalibration in spite of target image location fluctuation on thecalibration target.
