    MPC 3500 color printing

    There are a ton of options on this machine for adjusting color copying. Are there any for adjusting color printing other than ACC or the limited settings available in the driver?

      Let me just consult the Tome of Wifdom...

      Mika, looks like you can indeed adjust the Print mode gamma curve...

      Please PM me for more detail.

        Yeah, you can mess with the gamma if you want a major headache. One warning though - if you do change the gamma settings, don't run ACC - it resets all gamma back to default.

          I looked at sp 1104. I will probably have to screw around with it a bit considering the machine is going to a print shop as a light duty machine.

            To be honest, i would not even think of fumbling around with these keys. Tell us a little bit more about what you aspect to achieve by that.

            And always have in mind, that this is a "Office" mashine, good enough for nice gaudy excel sheets and pie charts
            but never ever expect natural colors.

                    The customer is well aware of the machines limitations. This machine is replacing a CL7200 printer. On that model I have achieved an acceptable color match simply by adjusting image density settings. On the B222 it will have to be done with gamma adjustment, if required.

                      Hmmm....7200 vs mpcxxxx ... different Toner, different Design, different ...Everything

                      If even possible, give your Customer the opportunity to do some tests in advance to prevent hassle later.
