Konica Minolta Press Color Calibration Explained
Production presses drift over time. Calibration and profiling keep color consistent.
Why Color Drifts
Heat, humidity, toner batches and parts wear all change how a press prints. A press that matched last month can be off today.
Calibration First
Calibration brings the press back to a stable target. We measure with a spectrometer and correct tone curves and solids.
Then ICC Profiling
A profile describes how the press reproduces color on a specific paper. Each paper stock needs its own profile.
How Often to Check
Check on a schedule, after major service, after a toner or paper change, and when customers report color shifts.
