    [CQ] tweaking color on the print driver.

    For the new Alphards.

    Got a machine going finally, impressed with the speed, but color not so much especially to have a 750c somewhere in the office to compare.

    Does it make much difference if I go tweaking color setting in the driver?

      I went that route with a VoyagerE, and made some small improvements, but it was never going to be a Saturn.

      ICC print profiles helped a little, but noting magical. By shifting the color wheel towards red I was able to mask the original problem. I tried literally every driver color adjustment or combinations thereof. I tried 4 different applications, three different driver versions, different firmware versions. Mostly I just made it worse. And spent 15+ hours doing so.

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          this brings up another question, is the Kyo-shiba the same WITHOUT the Fiery?

          edit: not to bring negative attention to this series, this is solely to seek improvement on performance. when I meant fast printing, its FAST! even with pdf format. Scanning operation is zippy as well.

              No. The fiery makes a big difference.

                  The fiery really does make a difference in color accuracy, get yourself a PANTONE color bridge and ES-1000 spectrophotometer and you can upload any color your having an issue with. Of course this is assuming that the copier is properly maintained.
