About Postflight
When the Postflight print option is set to values other than Off, it provides the following
information to help you identify possible problems: Postflight Test Page, Postflight color-
coded pages, and Postflight reports.
Postflight Test Page
You can print the Postflight Test Page alone or in combination with the color-coded pages.
The Test Page is printed using the exact same media and global settings (such as calibration) as
your job. However, color objects on this page are printed independently of the user-specified
source color definitions (such as CMYK simulation and RGB).
If the color on this page is not accurate, the problem lies with the printing environment (such
as the calibration, output profile, or print device).
If the color on this page prints correctly but objects in your job do not print in expected
colors, it is likely that the problem lies with the color setting specific to these objects.
Problems with objects can be: wrong color values for text and graphics, bad quality images, or
out-of-gamut colors.
Postflight color-coded pages
With this option, Postflight prepares a color-coded version of the original document that
displays each object with a color corresponding to the color space that the Fiery EXP8000/50
received for the object.
The colors used to represent the color spaces for objects are as follows:
• Gray objects: Gray
• CMYK objects: Cyan
• RGB objects: Red
• Device-Independent objects: Indigo
• Spot color objects: Yellow
By reviewing the colors for all objects, you can identify the print option settings that affect the
color conversion of the objects and make appropriate modifications.
