Please note that color reproduction is controlled by ICC color profiles, and not by Wasatch software.
We have not been able to get these printers into our lab, and therefore we have not been able create any color profiles for them.
You should contact your dealer for further support with ICC color profiles, or arrange to produce your own.

Because of lack of access to this printer, Wasatch's service department cannot provide the same level of support that we provide for most other printers.
Please rely on your dealer for support of this device.
