Owned by Alicia S Vogel
Last updated: Jun 13, 2017 by Susanne Kraft

Before you start, please make sure your Monitor's Brightness and Contrast settings is set to 50.

Power on the Printer and make sure it is connected to the computer.  It will take a while to fully warm up, and will make a lot of noise in the process.  You will be able to tell when it's ready when the light stops blinking on the front.

While it is powering on, you are ready to start.

 

TIP:  If at any point you are unsure of what you are doing in the ColorMunki software, look for a video icon like the one pictured.  It has short 10-15 second demos of the featured step.  

Step 1:
Connect the Colormunki device to the computer (not the keyboard) via it's USB cable.

Step 2:
Open the ColorMunki application under Macintosh HD>Applications>Colormunki Photo and click ok through the registration process.
