Calibration of IR8070?

[mpsinc]

Good morning!

I have an 8070 (and imagePASS M3) that is not printing the crisp quality I think it should be. The type is a little "fuzzy" and not sharp at all. We also have a slight problem with halftones, there are either highlights or shadows, not much in the mid-tone range.

Our service guy has tried to fix the problem, but has not been able to. Can anyone else provide some direction on what settings I should change or look at while in the service mode?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Teckat - thanks for your reply. The quality off the glass is the same as printing from CWS5. I have not done any sort of calibrations, granted I am the end user and am trying to figure it out on my own....... Going through CWS5, i cannot calibrate anything. That icon is grayed out no matter what I do.
Would going to an older version (CWS4?) allow that?

First do your Calibration from Control Panel/ follow the procedure prompts when highlighted/

u Can also Calibrate from & on M3 LCD Screen/scroll to Calibrate follow prompts.
Do u have a Kodak Gray Scale for Printer Calibrations

CWS-ColorWise Pro Tools will not function with black and white imagePASS or imagePRESS devices


Your best bet is to put in a service Call /request a Canon Qualified Trained Tech. on your product.
