Select a printer for printing patch pages

To create a profile, you print patch pages to measure. To profile a non-Fiery printer or a printer that is not connected to your computer, you can save the pages as a PDF and print them outside of Printer Profiler.

  • If you select a Fiery Server, Printer Profiler retrieves the manufacturer, model, and color space from the Fiery Server. Printer Profiler also retrieves other settings used in creating the profile.

    The Color Space setting is the printer’s preferred color space for creating an output profile. If you are creating a profile to simulate the output of another printer, you may want to set the color space of the printer that you are simulating. If your printer supports more than one color space, select the color space for the profile. The printer must be already configured for the color space that you select.

  • If you set a Fiery XF server, you must also specify a printer that is set up in Fiery XF. (A Fiery XF server can have multiple printers connected to it.) Printer Profiler also retrieves other settings used in creating the profile from the Fiery XF server.

    If the printer is not the linearization device, the printer settings automatically transfer to the linearization device. The linearization device is the printer that is always used for profiling in Fiery XF.

    If your printer is not in the list, make sure that the EFI Media Profiles folder contains an appropriate base linearization file (*.EPL). You can create a new base linearization file for your printer in Fiery XF Color Tools, if necessary.

  • If you save the file as PDF, you set CMYK or RGB as the printer color space.
