Specify profile settings in Fiery Device Linker

When you create a device link profile using Fiery Device Linker, you set rendering intent and separation options that affect how Fiery Device Linker maps color values from source to destination. Fiery Device Linker uses these settings to create the device link profile.

  • Black point compensation - Scales the black point of the source color space to fit the range of lightness in the output profile, rather than clipping. This preserves black gradients, such as shadows. Black point compensation applies only to the Relative Colorimetric rendering intent.

    Click Auto-detect to apply black point compensation only when the source black point is lower (darker) than the destination black point. Click Always to always apply black point compensation.

  • Preserve gray - Preserves RGB gray (R=G=B) or CMYK gray (CMY=0, K not zero) in the source and does not convert to black-only.

  1. Select the Rendering Intent to use between each linked profile. If you are matching to a standard, select Relative Colorimetric unless you want to print paper white simulation (for proofing).
  2. Set the separation options as they apply to your device link profile.
