Fiery ColorGuard makes it easy to check for and maintain consistent, accurate color on your Fiery XF-driven printers.

With Fiery ColorGuard, you create color verification schedules that automatically prompt operators when it is time to verify specific systems. When using the supported inline measurement instruments, verifications are executed automatically without any user input. Operators can quickly and easily verify color, and the results are automatically uploaded for review by the production manager. You can review the details of individual verifications, comparisons of multiple printers, and verification trends over time to ensure your Fiery XF-driven printers provide consistent color quality.

For each printer, you schedule verification against a selectable verification preset in the Fiery ColorGuard Web application. The Fiery ColorGuard Client application will then notify the operator when a schedule is pending and allow the operator to verify the combination of printer, media, and ink through the client application workflow.

In the verification workflow, the client application opens FieryMeasure, which the operator uses to measure the printed patch layout. Next, Fiery Verify receives the measurements from FieryMeasure and displays a summary of the results. FieryMeasure also provides an analysis of the results. The client application uploads the verification results to the web application, where they can be reviewed, analyzed, and compared with other results to identify various trends.

To get started with maintaining consistent, accurate color on your Fiery XF-driven printers, use the following Fiery ColorGuard applications:

• Fiery ColorGuard Web application at https://iq.fiery.com/colorguard/ - schedules verifications to be completed on the Fiery ColorGuard Client application and tracks the verification results.
• Fiery ColorGuard Client application integrated with Fiery Command WorkStation - notifies operators when to verify color, prints and measures the color output using FieryMeasure, displays the results in Fiery Verify, and uploads the verification results to the Fiery ColorGuard Web application.
