These generally didn't reflect real-world colors that could be captured using a camera, so even though some printers might print brighter colors accurately, they may not render natural scenes properly. Note: Our previous methodology (v0.8.1) resulted in relatively high dE scores for many printers because we used very vibrant Pantone colors. A lower variation scores better because the difference between the two colors isn't very significant. We then scan each color with a calibrated NIX QC Color Control Sensor, which gives us a value we use to calculate the color variation.
We use the same paper and print settings for each printer we test to ensure that the results are comparable. If this isn't possible, we use AmazonBasics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper at 92 GE brightness for portable printers, we use the dedicated paper type for the model. We print the color chart in PDF format, using Adobe Acrobat Reader, on a 4" x 6" sheet of glossy photo paper recommended by the printer manufacturer. We use the Macbeth ColorChecker Color Rendition Chart, which has 24 individual colors, to test how well a printer can reproduce various types of colors used in different print types. to be used with that very "problem-printer" as the other printers seems to be OK!Īs You have more than one printer - do not use the OSD-setting on the monitor - just "profile" the monitor without touching OSD-settings and let that monitor-profile take care of luminance etc for that very printer otherwise the old monitor-profiles are trash.We use our color accuracy test to measure how accurately a printer can reproduce colors. With that liminance - make a more exact calibration. (or by feeling)Ĭhose the one that gives a print that have a brightnes that You feel is according to your monitor. 65 cd/m2 step up in steps of 5 cd/m2 until 100 cd/m2. If You have a calibrator for the monitor - start "quick" calibrating with different luminances. If OK then to the normal settings in monitor and printing software:ģ/ Change "brightness" and "contrast" on the monitors OSD for "darker" values - then in your favorite photo-soft bring it up in software until satisfaction - print the test print - ( now preferably with paper settings and icc-profile)ĥ/ If you are not satisfied - goto step 3/ Mostly this gives you an acceptable print. This two steps are just to check the printer.
If that print looks too dark or bright - Your printer is not behaving properly or not within standard.Ĭhange in printer setup settings until You are satisfied. Download this "perfect" print and print it.ġ/Do not alter it in any way in printer software.Ģ/Printer setting "Let printer manage color".
