Verify color against a reference

To verify color, you print and measure color test patches for a specific reference. If the color patch page is already printed, you can skip printing.

  1. In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, click Verify.
  2. Select a Fiery server from the list.

    If the Fiery server is not in the list, click the plus sign to add it using the IP address or by searching.

  3. Select a Job properties preset.

    If you just created a profile from Fiery Express Profiler, Fiery Printer Profiler or Fiery Print Matcher, pick a preset to verify the precision of your profile.

    If a preset is not available that uses the color settings that you wish to verify, click Edit and specify custom job properties, such as source profile, output profile, etc.

  4. Select a Verification preset and click Next.

    Verification presets specify the reference color space and the tolerances for the verification test. Pick the preset for your preferred CMYK reference (such as Fogra, GRACoL or CRPC) and the tolerance setting.

    For digital print production, the recommended tolerance is ISO 12647-8 "chart". If you want to create your own Verification preset, click Edit.

  5. Select the measurement instrument and specify warmup pages if desired, and click Print.

    Warmup pages are beneficial if the printer has not been used for a period of time.

    Click Settings to the right of the instrument selection to configure spectrophotometer settings such as Measurement mode.

  6. Retrieve the pages from the printer and follow the on-screen instructions to measure the page. (Discard any warmup pages.)
  7. When you are done measuring, click Next to view the results.

    Fiery Verify displays the results including passed or not passed status, and a summary of the verification settings.

    Click View Detail to view a detailed report. Fiery Verify displays the reference values compared with the measured values and indicates pass or fail for each value. To record the results, you can print a report or a label.

    Click Print Report to create a detailed report in PDF format.

    Click Print Label to print a certification label that can be applied to a print or proof.
