Create calibration and profile in Fiery Express Profiler

To create a calibration and an output profile, you specify the Fiery server and then print and measure a calibration page and a profiling measurement page.

Settings for printing the calibration and profiling measurement pages are set in Preferences. Check these settings the first time that you use Fiery Express Profiler and change them if necessary.
  1. In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, start Express Profiler.
  2. In the Welcome window, click Select Fiery server and select the 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.

    Note: If the printer has an inline instrument installed, the Use printer in-line instrument optoin is selected. If you prefer to use another instrument, clear the check box.
  3. Type a name for the profiling session and click Next.

    This name will be used for the calibration, the output profile, and the optional virtual printer or server preset that you will create.

  4. Select a CMYK source profile from the list and click Next. CMYK source profile will be used to create server preset and to print profile test page.
  5. Select any job settings needed to print the warm-up pages and the calibration page and click OK.

    The same job settings will be used to print the subsequent profiling, calibration, and test pages. The profiling patches are now printed with the new calibration.

  6. Click OK, retrieve the pages from the printer, and follow the on-screen instructions to measure the calibration page.

    A new calibration setting is created.

  7. Click OK, retrieve the profiling measurement page or pages from the printer, and follow the on-screen instructions to measure the page or pages.

    After you finish measuring the page, the profile is created and installed on the Fiery server.

  8. Click Test Print to print a test page using the new profile.

    Make sure to select the server preset that was created recently to print the test page. The server preset will have the preset name as set in step 3.

  9. Click Done.

A virtual printer or server preset with the same name as the output profile is created. To print a job using the new output profile and calibration setting, print to this virtual printer or apply the server preset to the job.
