When printers are of different manufacturers or different models, Fiery Print Matcher can create a device link profile for
each printer that you want to match.
Before you use this method, calibrate each Fiery
server and check that the measured data for each printer closely
matches its target densities. If any profile does not produce
acceptable color, create a new profile using Printer Profiler.
Print Matcher uses output profile data from each
printer to calculate a gamut that is common to all printers. When one of the printers prints the
job, it uses only those color capabilities that are common to all printers, regardless of the
individual printer’s capabilities.
This method uses an existing output profile from
the Fiery server associated with each printer. The output profile
from each Fiery server is the intermediate profile in its device
link profile. The destination in all of the device link profiles is
the common color space between the printers. The resulting device
link profile is installed on each Fiery server.
-
In Fiery Color Profiler
Suite, click
Printer Match.
- Click New device link,
and then click Next.
-
Type a name for
this session, click the plus sign (+) to add each Fiery
server for the printers that you want to match, and then
click Next.
- Select a source profile.
A device link profile will be created for each
printer. Each device link profile will use this source profile. Select the
CMYK source profile that you prefer for printing most jobs.
-
For each Fiery
server, select the output profile that you created, and then
click Next.
In each
device link profile, the profile of the printer
being matched is used as an intermediate profile,
and the common color space is the destination.
- In the Apply Settings
window, select the profile settings and click Next.
- In the Save Profile window,
specify the profile description and any comments desired for each device link profile, and then
click Next.
The device link profile for each Fiery server is
installed on the corresponding Fiery server and is
associated with the source profile and output
profile settings that match the profiles used to
create the device link profile.
-
To check your
printer matching results, click Test Print to print a
color test page to each Fiery server.
