I've been following the discussion on the Phaser 7700 and the various
issues with calibrating/profiling etc. I am a bit confused about
something, it is my understanding that the 7700 has an internal
calibration routine that can be run similar to the way inkjets have
cleaning procedures.
Not really internal calibration. It's produces a print that you have
to eyeball and then tell the printer is looks good or bad. If bad, if
makes a change and prints another.
Wouldn't this give the user an easy way to bring the printer back into
line should the printer drift due to humidity or changing toner
cartridges? If you run this prior to profiling shouldn't this go a long
way to keeping your results within acceptable tolerances?
Yes, theoretically. It should help anyway, but not really an internal
calibration, so it's is a rough adjustment.
Also I have a client who uses a Phaser 7700. We had no problems
profiling this, and it did not necessitate using the PhaserMatch
software at all. (If I recall correctly the PhaserMatch is basically a
version of Monaco's EZ Color.)
Yes you can profile it without Phasermatch, but how do you implement
the workflow? Phasermatch modifies the print driver to allow you to
use the custom profile when printing. You can avoid Phasermatch if
you use a color server or make a color conversion before it hits the
printer. How are you doing it?
