Fiery Printer Profiler can create custom output profiles for most RGB and CMYK printers: Fiery-driven, Fiery XF server-driven, Splash-driven, inkjet, non-Fiery, and printing presses. Use Printer Profiler with a measurement instrument (such as the spectrophotometer included with Color Profiler Suite) to create an output profile to describe the gamut, or range of reproducible color, of a printer.

The profiles created are fully compliant with International Color Consortium (ICC) standards, so that you can use them with industry standard applications and platforms. You can create a new calibration setting before profiling. You can choose to print patch pages and measure them immediately or later. With Printer Profiler, you can also import existing measurements, from files or ICC profiles, and modify the gamut mapping and black controls before saving a new profile.

To generate a profile, you print pages of color patches (to show the color behavior of a printer), measure the patches, and then create a profile using the measured values. You can start Printer Profiler at any point in this process.

• Print Patches - Start here if you want to create a new profile and optionally, a new calibration setting, and have not printed a patch page.

• Measure Profiling Patches - Start here if you have patch pages that were printed earlier or on a printer at another location. Using a measurement instrument, record spectral measurements of each color patch

• Convert Measurements to Profile - Start here if you want to import measurements from an IT8 file that contains spectral or colorimetric data or from an existing ICC profile. Apply gamut mapping and separation settings to create an ICC profile that describes the gamut of your printer.
