Maximum Density Adjustment
Performing Maximum Density Adjustment
After the controller calibration and the advanced controller calibration (Exact Color) is performed, if no improvement is found due to large density change or when you want to make adjustment with high accuracy, you can perform the maximum density adjustment.
Tips
If the density change is still large after performing About Controller Calibration and About Exact Color Calibration, first contact your service representative.
