Fiery Printer Profiler can create custom output profiles for most RGB and CMYK printers: Fiery-driven, Fiery XF server-driven, inkjet, non-Fiery, and printing presses. Use Fiery Printer Profiler with a measurement instrument (such as the spectrophotometer included with Fiery Color Profiler Suite) to create an output profile for the print system using specific substrate and image quality settings.

The profiles created are fully compliant with International Color Consortium (ICC) standards, so that you can use them with industry standard applications and platforms. You can create a new calibration setting as part of the profile creation process. It is always recommended to create a new calibration set as well as a printer profile for each paper type. With Fiery Printer Profiler, you can also import existing measurements, from files or ICC profiles, and modify the gamut mapping and black controls before saving a new profile.

To generate a profile, you print pages of color patches (to show the color behavior of a printer), measure the patches, and then create a profile using the measured values. You can start Fiery Printer Profiler at any point in this process.

• Express Profile - see Fiery Express Profiler.

• Print Patches - Start here if you want to create a new profile and optionally, a new calibration setting, and have not printed a patch page.

• Measure Profiling Patches - Start here if you have patch pages that were printed earlier or on a printer at another location after measurements, a profile can be created using this workflow.

• Convert Measurements to Profile - Start here if you want to import measurements from an IT8 file that contains spectral or colorimetric data or from an existing ICC profile. At this point a profile can be created from the measurements or if an ICC profile is loaded a variation on it can be created by changing the settings in the Fiery Printer Profiler Apply Settings window.
