Postflight reports
You can print two types of reports on color-coded pages, either alone or combined with the
color-coded document. These reports are printed on the Fiery EXP8000/50 default paper size
(Letter for US, A4 for metric) and use the default calibrated color mode.
Select the Postflight report from the following two types:
• includes detailed static information with advice on possible procedures

and values. An icon identifies the "detailed" information areas of the report.
• includes only job-specific information. This option is good for advanced
Concise Report
users who do not want the instructions which may seem redundant to them.
Detailed and Concise Reports
The reports provide a document header with information (such as job name, date and time
printed, and user name), a ColorWise global settings page, and object-specific settings pages.
All pages include the job name, postflight date/time, and pagination in the bottom margin.

if you see a problem with an object that is displayed in Cyan in a color-coded page, review
the settings listed in the CMYK Objects page and try changing those settings.
• lists all spot colors.
Spot colors page
For spot colors, the Postflight report lists the colors that are used in a job. It also indicates
whether these colors are defined in the Fiery EXP8000/50. When a spot color is defined in
the Fiery EXP8000/50, a patch is printed next to the color name. When a color is not
defined in the Fiery EXP8000/50, a white patch with an X is printed.
Important notes on Postflight reports
The main purpose of Postflight is to help you detect, diagnose, and prevent color-related
problems. In contrast to generic preflight software, which attempts to predict how a job
would be processed, a postflighted job is fully processed by the Fiery EXP8000/50, allowing
accurate reporting on the settings with which the job processed.
This Postflight feature is especially useful in cases where a workflow that was used to submit a
job inadvertently converts colors. This conversion occurs with some printer drivers, printing
options, and conversions to PDF.
This report focuses on color processing and does not list every printing option that affects
your job. For more information about the ColorWise print options, see
