    PhaserMatch adds new TekColor corrections to the PostScript printer driver associated with a Phaser 7700 printer. PhaserMatch modifies the printer driver files to make the new TekColor corrections available in the driver on the computer being used. The custom TekColor corrections work just like the TekColor corrections, such as SWOP Press and Euroscale Press, built into the printer.

  • Page 12: Spectrophotometer-Based Calibration

    Printer Calibration Spectrophotometer-Based Calibration There are two methods provided for entering the calibration data values measured by a spectrophotometer. The first method allows you to use PhaserMatch or PhaserCal software to control and communicate with a spectrophotometer that is connected to your computer. The second method allows you to manually import LAB measured data.

    Measure the color swatches. Note: The instructions explaining how to manually measure the calibration data and create the needed data file are in section page 7-1. View the measurement data. Send the calibration data to the printer. For more information on how to use these screens, click the Help (?) button in the application. Visual Color Calibration The printer contains a set of instructions that describe how to calibrate the printer visually.

  • Page 14: Creating Custom Tekcolor Corrections

    Creating Custom TekColor Corrections The Phaser printer should have been calibrated using one of the methods mentioned previously in this document before creating new TekColor corrections. When the printer has been color calibrated you can create and use custom TekColor corrections. To create a TekColor correction using a Phaser printer ICC profile and a target device ICC profile: Launch the PhaserMatch application.

  • Page 15: Selecting A Phaser Printer Profile

    Device link profiles are used by PhaserMatch to create TekColor corrections. The TekColor corrections can be sent to a Phaser printer or saved in the driver for the Phaser printer. Note: When creating Phaser printer profiles using a third party ICC profile creation application, you should make sure the print to be measured is made with no color correction (Select None for the TekColor correction in the Phaser printer's PostScript driver).

  • Page 31 Phaser Printer Profiles Phaser Printer Profiles are standard ICC profiles that describe the Phaser 7760, 7750, and 7700 printers. A printer profile is a file describing to the computer operating system's color management software how the printer describes the colors it prints.
  • Page 32 Introduction to Color Management Color management is based on color spaces. The range of colors, or gamut, perceived by the human eye, captured on film, displayed on a computer monitor, and rendered by a printer vary significantly. Each has its own color space, a mathematical means of describing its colors. RGB is an additive color space that combines red, green, and blue light to create all other colors.
  • Page 33 When you create an image using an application that uses ColorSync or ICM, a profile can be embedded in the image file. The Phaser 7760, 7750, and 7700 printer work with applications that produce CMYK and RGB colors and will ignore embedded profiles.
