Set calibration settings

When you print a calibration page, first specify the calibration settings by specifying the inks used, preset, and other details, as required.

  1. Choose the color mode that is required for your production output:
    • CMYK
    • CMYK + N
      Note: Where N is an additional color mode licensed for the press.
  2. Select a server preset.

    Information about the selected server preset is shown such as color mode, substrate, and resolution.

  3. Optional: To create a new preset, click Settings to specify the job properties for the server preset.

    It is important that you define the substrate from Substrate Catalog and the substrate size from Size ID on the Media tab in the Job Properties window.

    You can specify color settings on the Color tab in the Job Properties window. The color mode and output profile will be overwritten by the calibration settings.

    You can specify the resolution on the Image tab in the Job Properties window.

  4. Optional: Select the Apply preliminary ink values check box, click Settings to define the ink limits, and then click OK.

    Click Link to link all the ink limits together and then you can change only one ink value. If only 100% of ink on substrate gives an issue, then use this option, otherwise you can skip this step. Reprint with option turned on.

    Click Reset to reset to the default ink values.

    Note: If the Fiery server supports light inks, then the light ink limits are calculated automatically depending on the normal ink limits.
  5. Click Print Pages to print the calibration page and proceed to measurement.
