*1: As for "CMYK + White undercoating (S) / Black paper", the paper is undercoated with the special toner at 100%, and overprinted with CMYK colors, so CMYK are targeted for adjustment.

*2: Can also be adjusted with AccurioPro Print Manager.

*3: To measure the color of a color sample, use an external handheld colorimeter.
