Match the color output of your Epson F6200:

The color produced by the F6300 can be usually matched to prior work produced on the F6200 by converting the F6200 Imaging Configuration.

The 'Convert Epson F62 Color for use in Epson F63' option is available on the 'Tools' menu when the Epson F6300 printer is selected as the active Print Unit.

Selecting this option will display a list of all Imaging Configurations for the Epson F6200. Upon clicking the desired configuration, it will be converted for the F6300.

All converted configurations will be available for the F6300 on the Imaging Configurations drop down menu, of the Print Setup window.
