When printers are of different manufacturers or different models, Print
Matcher can create a device link profile for each printer that you want to match.
Before you use this method, calibrate each Fiery Server and check that the measured data for each printer closely
matches its target densities. If any profile does not produce acceptable color, create a new profile
using Printer Profiler.
Print Matcher uses output profile data from each
printer to calculate a gamut that is common to all printers. When one of the printers prints the
job, it uses only those color capabilities that are common to all printers, regardless of the
individual printer’s capabilities.
This method uses an existing output profile from
the Fiery Server associated with each printer. The output profile from
each Fiery Server is the intermediate profile in its device link
profile. The destination in all of the device link profiles is the common color space between the
printers. The resulting device link profile is installed on each Fiery Server.
- In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, click
Printer Match.
- Click New device link,
and then click Next.
- Type a name for this session, click the plus
sign (+) to add each Fiery Server for the printers that you want to
match, and then click Next.
- Select a source profile.
A device link profile is created for each printer. Each
device link profile uses this source profile. Select the CMYK source
profile that you prefer for printing most jobs.
- For each Fiery Server, select the output profile that you created, and then click Next.
In each device link profile, the profile of the printer
being matched is used as an intermediate profile, and the common
color space is the destination.
- In the Apply Settings
window, select the profile settings and click Next.
- In the Save Profile window,
specify the profile description and any comments desired for each device link profile, and then
click Next.
The device link profile for each Fiery Server is installed on the corresponding Fiery Server and is associated with the source profile and output profile settings that match
the profiles used to create the device link profile.
- To check your printer matching results, click
Test Print to print a color test page to each Fiery Server.
