Fiery Device Linker can help you use a device link profile to match color output to an industry standard. Device Linker also lets you simply create a device link profile using two to four profiles. In addition, you can optimize spot color definitions through iterative measurement of actual color output.

Device Linker offers these options:

• Optimize a device link (Iterative match to a standard) - Matches the output of your Fiery-driven printer to an industry standard (for example, SWOP). Device Linker creates a device link profile using a CMYK source profile that simulates the standard as the source profile and an output profile of the Fiery Server as the destination profile. Using measurements of the actual color output, Device Linker can optimize the resulting device link profile to target the color values that the standard specifies. With additional iterations of color measurements, you can fine-tune the optimization. Device Linker installs the profile on the Fiery Server.

• Optimize spot colors - Optimizes the spot color definitions on your Fiery Server. Device Linker loads the spot color definitions that reside on the Fiery Server. Using measurements of the actual color output, Device Linker can then optimize the spot color definition. With additional iterations of color measurements, you can fine-tune the optimization.

• Create a custom device link - Creates a device link profile from specified source and destination profiles. Optionally, you can include one or two intermediate profiles. You can save the resulting profile or install it on a Fiery Server.
