Calibrating Your System
Calibration allows you to match your scanner and your output
device so that you can reproduce images that are very close to
the original.
Monitors use a different technology than printers, so images
look different on the monitor than when they are printed. Also,
each output device may produce different results. A proof
printed on an electronic color printer will look different from
the same image printed on a printing press. EPSON Scan! II
calibrates your scanner with your application and your printer
by analyzing the results of a calibration sample at each stage of
the process.
The basic calibration process consists of the following
procedures:
Cl
Calibrating your monitor to your scanner
LI
Enabling screen calibration
Q
Exporting a calibration chart to your application
CI
Creating calibration profiles for your printers
D
Scanning using the calibration profile.
These procedures are described in the following sections.
