Explication :
I'd have to know what the machine actually does. "Calé" could also mean "queued up".

I found some sources, all related to printing:
This page defines "calage": http://www.couleurs-montagne.com/prepresse/lexique-imprimeri...

These two are French and English, and the translation is "calage = press setting":

My previous comment makes me think that your original has to do with printing, more than with paint mixing.

Explication :
My understanding is that the components are mixed according to certain ratios to achieve the required shade. In water colors, the shades are not properly calibrated, possibly because of a difference in the density of the paint.

Notes au répondeur
Demandeur : It's something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlVIUKzhuXg/ You basically find a colour by name using a colour chart. The machine then makes the colour, adding the correct amount of each colourant to a base and makes your paint to dispense into a can. I'm not sure if queued up works here because it seems to be connected to it alerting the user of a possible colour problem.

Demandeur : It definitely involves software and a computer so maybe it could be queued up. Just not sure how it connects to the following sentence.
