Hi @Noodles2626,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are trying to calibrate or adjust the color on your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer, you can follow these steps:

1. Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Report

• On the printer control panel, go to Setup.
• Select Tools.
• Choose Print Quality Report.
• Review the report to identify any color alignment or quality issues.

2. Align the Printhead

• On the printer control panel, navigate to Setup.
• Select Tools.
• Choose Align Printer and follow the on-screen instructions.
• The printer will print an alignment page; place it on the scanner glass and follow the prompts to complete alignment.

3. Clean the Printhead

• On the printer control panel, go to Setup.
• Select Tools.
• Choose Clean Printhead and follow the on-screen instructions.
• If the issue persists, repeat this step up to three times.

4. Adjust Color Settings in the Printer Driver

• When printing, open the print dialog from the application you are using.
• Select Preferences or Properties (or similar, depending on the software).
• Navigate to the Color or Advanced Settings tab.
• Adjust the color sliders (e.g., Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) or select Custom Color Settings to fine-tune the color output.

5. Update the Printer Firmware and Driver Update the firmware on an HP printer

• Visit the HP Support Page for the ENVY 7640.
• Download and install the latest firmware and driver for your printer.

• Check if your printer supports manual calibration:
  • On the control panel, go to Setup > Tools > Calibrate Color or similar.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

7. Check for Cartridge Issues

• Ensure you’re using genuine HP cartridges.
• Remove and reseat the cartridges to ensure they are properly installed.
• Check for ink levels; replace low or empty cartridges.

8. Reset the Printer

• Disconnect the power cord and wait for 60 seconds.
