Set calibration settings

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

Note: If G7 calibration is applied, a message appears showing the validity of your calibration measurements.
  1. In the Color tab in the Job Properties window, choose the color mode that is required for your production output:
    • CMYK
    • CMYK + N
      Note: Where N is an additional color mode available for the printer, if supported.
  2. Specify an output profile in the Color tab in the Job Properties window.

    The only additional setting to modify in the Color tab is the output profile.

    Select an output profile from the available list that closely matches your paper properties. Although Calibrator will not use the output profile for color management, Calibrator and Fiery Color Profiler Suite use proprietary information in output profiles to optimize their internal settings.

  3. On a printer that requires Media Catalog, define the media from Media Catalog and the media size from Size ID on the Media tab in the Job Properties window. On a printer where Media Catalog is optional or is not available, make sure the paper source (tray) contains the paper properties you are selecting in Job Properties, for example, weight, type, coating, and size. Do not use settings such as "any" or "automatic", because the calibration you are creating must be for the exact print conditions. Generic settings do not guarantee optimal results.
  4. (Optional) Specify other job properties if you choose not to use the default settings for printing a job.
  5. Click Print Pages to print the calibration page and proceed to measurement.
