Screen Shot 2014-03-18 at 12.26.40 PMWHAT: Szymanski will discuss how color tuning and image quality optimization begins at the basic machine setup level. A printer or copier must first operate properly, in a consistent and repeatable manner, before consistent and accurate color reproduction can be achieved and maintained. He will detail a three step process, including print engine setup, densitometric tuning for conciseness, and colorimetric tuning for accuracy. Each must be performed and maintained to achieve optimized color and image quality.
