Abstract
Methods and systems herein provide for verification of a calibration of a printer utilizing a hand-held mobile device. In one embodiment, a mobile device includes a camera that captures image data of a calibration target printed by a printing system. The image data is captured in an uncontrolled environment. The mobile device further includes a processor that determines a difference between the uncontrolled environment where the image data was captured and a controlled environment, and adjusts the image data based on the difference. The mobile device then determines whether the printing system is out of calibration based on the adjusted image data.
