Set general preferences
The General tab lets you set preferences that apply to all modules of Fiery Color Profiler Suite.
Set dE calculation method preferences
There are many ways to calculate "Delta E", the numerical difference between two colors. This is often written as dE or ΔE. You can use the Preferences tab to set how Fiery Color Profiler Suite calculates dE.
Tolerance values are in units of dE and the calculation method: for example, 0.5 dE 94.
You can set which method Fiery Color Profiler Suite uses to interpret all dE values that you specify in Fiery Color Profiler Suite.

- Click one of these
calculation methods in the dE Calculation Method
list:
dE ab - The standard CIE method. The color difference is the distance between the two colors, calculated in three-dimensional Lab color space.
dE 94 - A variant of CIELAB that CIE TC1-29 recommends as the color difference formula. For graphic arts applications, this method uses K1 = 0.045 and K2 = 0.015.
dE 2000 - A variant of CIELAB that CIE recommended in 2000. This method uses KL = KC = KH = 1.0.
dE CMC - The ratio of differences in lightness to chroma and to hue calculated using the ISO standard ISO 105-J03. Values for lightness and chroma weights are 1.0 for use with perceptibility data.
Create Virtual Printers
In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, you can create a Virtual Printer when a new calibration set and profile are created. This preference determines whether Fiery Color Profiler Suite will automatically create a Virtual Printer, ask if a Virtual Printer should be created when a profile and calibration are created, or never create a Virtual Printer.
