Color Calibration
Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. This chapter explains
how calibration works and provides instructions for all calibration procedures. You
can calibrate the Fiery using ColorWise Pro Tools in combination with any of the
following color measurement instruments, available as separately purchased options:
• X-Rite DTP41 automatic scanning spectrophotometer
• X-Rite DTP32 automatic scanning densitometer
• EFI Densitometer ED-100
• EFI Spectrometer ES-1000 hand-held spectrometer
By connecting the instrument to the serial port on your computer, you can quickly
measure calibration color patches and download measurements to the Fiery.
For information on setting up and operating the DTP41 and DTP32, see
Another way to obtain measurements is by using the copier's built-in scanner as part of
the AutoCal ™ or ColorCal
instrument and can be run from ColorWise Pro Tools.
For information on advanced calibration and simulation features available with
ColorWise Pro Tools, such as editing profiles and creating custom profiles, see
Chapter 3. A format for inputting color measurements from other
is described in Appendix B.
The procedures described in this chapter are fundamentally the same for
