3.5.5 Color Verify (Only for VJ-1638)

The 'Color Verify' feature can be utilized to aid the printer operator in checking for and isolating

potential color reproduction variations before they become a visual detriment.

In this function, 14 color patches are printed, and the colors are measure by the optional

spectrophotometer (SPECTROVUE VM-10). If the Color Verify was performed before and the

measured value was saved as the baseline, the color difference from the baseline will be printed

as a result.

TIP

 Printer color reproduction can change over time due to various factors, including environmental (shop

temperature and humidity), age and storage conditions of ink and media, possible lot-to-lot manufacturing

variations of ink and media, and aging of the printer itself (due to mechanical wear). Individually, such

factors may have minimal impact on color reproduction, but cumulatively over a span of time these factors

can lead to color variations that become apparent and potentially detrimental to image quality.

NOTE

 This function is not shown in VJ-1638W.

Follow the 2 steps below to check the color reproducibility using the Color Verify.

1. Save the baseline

Perform the Color Verify under the condition* of comparison criterion, and save the measured

value (only one baseline can be saved).

* e.g.: To use a new media, after an initial ink charge, before starting the continuous print job,

etc.

2. Check the current color reproducibility (Comparison with the baseline)

When a media or ink is replaced, or when the job that has been printed in the past, is printed

again, perform the Color Verify and compare the color with the baseline to check if there is no

significant change in the color reproducibility.

TIP

 When the Color Verify is executed, the color difference (dE) is printed on the top of each color patch. If the

color difference (dE) is quite large, it means that the color reproducibility has varied from when the baseline

was saved. In general, if the dE is more than 3.2, the color difference in the print result will be visible.

 In this function, the color difference (dE) is calculated based on CIE 94*.

* CIE94 is proposed by CIE (International Commission of Illumination) in 1994.

NOTE

 The optional SPECTROVUE VM-10 is required to perform this function.

For more information about the SPECTROVUE VM-10, contact your local MUTOH dealer.

 Before performing this function, make sure to print the nozzle check pattern to check if there is no missing

nozzle.

 In order to perform the Color Verify correctly, make sure to specify the following settings same as the

setting when the baseline was saved. If these settings are different, the color difference may become

large.

 Each Heater Temperature Setting, Effect Setting, CR Print Width Setting, Overwrite Setting

 Use this function with the head height adjustment lever is in the “Low” position.

 Since the room environment (temperature, humidity) may affect the print color, create the environment in

accordance with the environment condition described in the operating manual “8.1.1 Printer Specification

Environment Condition”. In addition, make sure to place the media and ink in the printing environment for

2 hours before use.

 In this function, the baseline cannot be saved for each media. To perform the Color Verify with a different

media, the new baseline should be saved. (If the media is replace to the one previously used, the baseline

should be saved again.)

 The 'Color Verify' feature is intended to be utilized as an aid to the printer operator in checking for and

isolating potential color reproduction variations that can arise over time due to various factors common to

all printing environments; it is a tool intended to help facilitate implementation of on-printer process control.

As such, it is not in-and-of-itself a guarantee of color reproducibility or reproduction accuracy, nor does it

negate the need for color workflow best practices.

Follow the procedures below to perform the Color Verify.

3. Turn ON the printer and load the roll media.

3.4.2 Setting roll media

4. Set the user type setting.

3.4.3 Setting the User Type Setting
