You can also execute color calibration even if you are using paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certifiedpaper by registering a Custom Media Information File that contains this Calibration Target using the included MCT ona printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a Spectrophotometer Unit mounted.Furthermore, it is also possible to execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certifiedpaper even on remote printers (12-color models) that support calibration link by sending the Custom Media InformationFile that contains the Calibration Target by e-mail.This allows you to operate efficiently and at reduced cost because you can perform calibration operations on the paperyou are using that unify color tones across workplaces.The following procedure using MCT is needed in order to perform color calibration on paper other than genuine Canonpaper and feed certified paper.1 Register the media information using Add Custom Paper.2 Add the Calibration Target information in Create Calibration Target to the created custom paper.3 Save as a Custom Media Information File that contains the Calibration Target.4 Add the Custom Media Information File to a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without aSpectrophotometer Unit mounted.5 Execute color calibration using the printer or the CCMC color management utility.For a detailed explanation, see the following.• Media Configuration Tool (Windows) →P.573• Media Configuration Tool (Mac OS X) →P.605Things That Can Be Done Using CCMCYou can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility.For a detailed explanation, see the following.• Color Calibration Management Console (Windows) →P.846• Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) →P.883• Remotely Executing Color CalibrationYou can remotely execute color calibration from a remote location.• Displaying the Advisability of executing color calibrationAdvisability of executing color calibration is displayed as a progress bar. This allows you to manage color effi-ciently because you can visually check roughly how long until color calibration is executed next.• Managing the color calibration logs of remotely connected printersThe printer calibration logs are displayed in a list, making it possible to grasp the color management status of mul-tiple remotely connected printers.This makes it possible for administrators to identify, execute, and manage printers that require color calibration,and makes administrative work more efficient.Color Calibration Using the Printer SensorColor Calibration Using the Printer SensorFeatures of Color Calibration Using the Printer SensorColor calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears when printingdue to individual variations or aging among the printers.Executing color calibration with the printer sensor will print a test pattern (built into the printer) that is then read auto-matically by the printer sensor.By this operation, calibration adjustment values reflecting the print result of the test pattern are set automatically.Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor iPF6450User's GuideColor Management Color Calibration826
