• Use this image to verify color and white layer alignment
• Avoid using other graphics as they may be inaccurate
• Ensure images are at least 300 DPI to prevent white haze
• Bypass the cover sensor if needed
• Observe color and white layers as they print
• Confirm white ink fits inside the colored box
• Expect a black outer box with smaller white coverage
• White choke is normal and intentional
• White ink expands more than color ink
• Use a backlight to inspect the printed boxes
• Check whether white ink stays inside the color box
• Identify misalignment direction if present
• If misaligned top to bottom redo vertical headspace calibration
• If misaligned left to right redo horizontal headspace calibration
• If box edges appear fuzzy redo bidirectional calibration
• Color fuzziness is normal but box edges should be sharp
• Refer to the calibration video specific to your printer model
• Calibration steps vary between printer models
