This article explains how to calibrate your scanner to achieve the best color results. The information here generally applies to color calibration of scanners. Specific scanner models may come with color calibration materials, software, and instructions.
How do I calibrate a scanner?
To color calibrate your scanner, you will need a color reference sample. Your scanner may have come with one specific to your model. If not, use an IT8 target, which contains specific color patches with a reference file that stores the exact values.
When you scan the IT8 target, the software measures the color patches and distinguishes differences between the set color values and the actual values.
Create a color reference sheet or IT8 target with known colors.
