Konica Minolta i-Series: Gradation Adjustment – Color Quality

This function is a great first step to fixing color quality issues when copying/printing by recalibrating

the density of the toner laid onto the paper.

What is Auto Gradation Adjustment?

This function helps to automatically adjust toner density (darkness) on the paper when

printing/copying. This will help with the color accuracy and image quality.

Example 1: Color calibration may need to take place is doing a print/copy job on heavy paper stock.

Different thickness or paper texture may soak toner in differently, which could potentially change

color density.

Example 2: Weather changes can affect how toner soaks into paper! Toner prints lighter on

warm/humid days, and darker on cold/dry days. Think of the paper as a “sponge.” The more water

that soaks into the paper, the lighter the print will get, since there is no room for toner to fit in the

groove of the paper. The gradation adjustment will account for the levels, and adjust as needed.
