View measurement results

After you measure a calibration page or import measurements, the measurement results are ready to be applied. Applying (saving) the measurement data overwrites the existing data. For color data, you can view the measurement data in a graph to check the data before applying it.

Measurement results are shown as a set of density curves for C, M, Y, and K. For comparison, the calibration target data is also shown as a set of thicker density curves in the same graph, and the maximum density values are compared numerically.

  1. In Calibration Manager, select a calibration and click View Measurements.
  2. To hide or show curves, click the icon next to the appropriate label:
    • Measured - Hides or shows the measured density curves.

    • Target - Hides or shows the target density curves.

    • Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, or Black - Hides or shows the measured and target density curves for the specific colorant.

    Note: When Fiery Color Profiler Suite is installed and licensed, Calibrator offers the option to create G7 calibration. With G7 calibration, transfer curves are applied over a Fiery server calibration target to reach G7 gray balance. The Calibration Manager displays the underlying regular Fiery server calibration target, not the temporary G7 transfer curves. Similarly, transfer curves used to reach the calibrated state for regular Fiery server targets are not displayed by the Calibration Manager. These transfer curves are temporary because they are recomputed with every recalibration.
  3. Optional: Click Save measurement to save the measurement data of an existing calibration setting.
  4. To print a test page, click Test Page.

    You can print a test page to help you decide whether to associate the calibration setting with an existing output profile or create a new output profile.

  5. Optional: If you are not satisfied with the results produced by the latest measurements, click Reset to Default Measurements to reset the calibration data. When you perform this action, the last set of calibrator measurements is deleted. The button is displayed only when recalibration has been performed.
