Apply profile settings

After you make or import measurements in Printer Profiler, the Apply Settings window lets you set the profile’s gamut mapping, separation settings, profile optimization, and viewing condition. You can also load existing settings from a preset (saved settings) or from a profile.

Note: The available settings vary, depending on the capabilities of the printer.

Load settings

Apply the settings from an existing profile.

In the Apply Settings window, click a profile in the Settings list. Choose the factory default profile for the type of paper you are profiling (plain, coated, heavy coated, etc). The default profile gives the settings used to create the press-manufacturer-approved factory profile for that kind of paper.
If a profile does not appear, click Import Settings in the Settings list to connect to the Fiery server, then select the profile.

Set maximum GCR

The Maximum GCR option automatically sets the separation (black control) settings to maximize the GCR (gray component replacement) of the profile.

Maximum GCR can help to improve the gray balance of prints, achieve better compliance with industry color standards, and maximize the output gamut.

In the Apply Settings window, click Maximum GCR.

Set profile optimization

The Optimize colorimetric precision option uses optimization to improve colorimetric precision and reduce dE (sometimes referred to as ΔE or Delta E) values.

In the Apply Settings window, click Optimize colorimetric precision.

Set viewing condition

You can set the color of ambient light in which prints are intended to be viewed. It is recommended to leave this option set to D50 and always evaluate color quality visually in a D50 light booth.

In the Apply Settings window, do one of the following:

Click a setting in the Lighting value list.
Click the plus sign (+) to create your own setting, either by using a measurement instrument or by specifying the XYZ value.
