This section involves specific production and technical details, which I will explain in as simple terms as possible.

1. What is color calibration? What is its purpose?

   Our calibration process is actually divided into two parts: machine calibration and image calibration.
   Machine calibration ensures basic color accuracy in printing and is performed regularly. This article mainly focuses on issues related to image calibration.

   The purpose of image calibration is to maximize the texture quality of physical printed products. In our practice, products tend to appear slightly grayish without image calibration.

2. What is the calibration process?

   After receiving files, our dedicated calibration staff will print two versions: one with ""no color curve adjustments"" and another with ""rough adjustments based on perception"". Based on the colors of the printed results, we readjust the color curves. This process is repeated at least 2-3 times until satisfactory results are achieved. Once approved, we will send you the calibrated sample and proceed with subsequent production after confirmation.

3. Why does calibration have time limitations?

   Thermal transfer printing effects are influenced by temperature, humidity, magnetic fields even mystical factors
   Staff insist music shouldn't be played during printing - speaker magnetic fields affect printheads causing streaks

   Different colored inks show visibly different fluidity at various temperatures. Environmental humidity affects transfer rates during processing. Therefore, after significant environmental changes, machines must be recalibrated with adjusted settings. Post-machine recalibration, previous image calibrations become invalid and require redoing. Even without recalibration, machine deviations become noticeable after two months.
