Fiery ColorGuard makes it easy to check for and maintain consistent accurate color on your Fiery Driven printers.

With Fiery ColorGuard, you create color verification or recalibration schedules that automatically prompt operators when it is time to verify or recalibrate specific systems. When using the supported inline measurement instruments, verifications and recalibrations 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. Operators can be notified when to recalibrate. You can review the details of individual verifications, comparisons of multiple printers, and verification trends over time and schedule recalibrations as needed to ensure your Fiery Driven printers provide consistent color quality.

For each printer, you schedule verification or recalibration against a selectable verification preset in the Fiery ColorGuard Web application. The Fiery ColorGuard Client application will then notify the printer operator when a schedule is pending, and allow the operator to verify, or recalibrate, the combination of printer, media, toner or 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. It also provides an analysis of the results. The client application uploads the verification results to the web application where they can be reviewed, analyzed, compared with other results to identify various trends.

In the recalibration workflow, the client application opens Fiery Calibrator, which the operator uses to recalibrate the color output of the Fiery Driven printer. Fiery Calibrator uses FieryMeasure as part of the recalibration workflow.

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

• Fiery ColorGuard Web application at https://iq.fiery.com/colorguard/ - Schedules verifications, spot color verifications, and recalibrations to be completed on the Fiery ColorGuard Client application, and tracks the verification results. Spot color verifications can be initiated from Fiery Spot Pro.
• Fiery ColorGuard Client application integrated with Fiery Command WorkStation - Notifies printer operators when to verify color, verify spot color or recalibrate color output, 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.
