Hello. I have an "oldie-but-a-goody" HP5500PS 60" printer running Pigment Ink. I'm trying to find some affordable methods of calibrating for different types of media. For instance, right now I'm running some LexJet Sunset Reserve Matte Canvas. When I loaded it, and it asked for media type, I selected "HP Canvas Matte UV." To calibrate the color for this media, I Figured I'd start with a printer self-color calibration. All resources online, as well as the HP5500PS manual, say you can run a color calibration anytime manually by going to "Printer-Utilities-Calibrations-Color Calibration." However, I only see "Printhead Alignment" and "Accuracy" - no "Color Calibration." Anybody know what is going on here?

I'm also looking for alternative ways to calibrate this thing for different medias on the cheap. Thanks!
