-Without calibration your scans will be unlikely to have proper colors. It allows for a baseline for all of your images which is very important for consistency which is why calibration is something we strongly encourage you to do if you can. If you’re unable to, we might be able to provide scanner calibrated ICC/ICM files that others have done for your scanner model, but ideally you would want to calibrate your own scanner every 6-12 months due to differences and age of the hardware+With proper calibration you can be assured that your scans will have more accurate colors.
