For color printers, the test page lets you compare the current calibration data with the default calibration data for the Fiery server. The default calibration data is either the factory default data (for factory-supplied calibration settings) or the initial measurement data (for custom calibration settings).

The test page contains color bars and images printed with the calibration data you are evaluating. There are two versions of each image. The upper version shows the image printed with the default calibration data and the lower version shows the image printed with the calibration data you are evaluating.

The color bars show a gradation from highlight to shadow for each colorant. The gradations should be smooth, without sudden shifts in density, with the exception of the 100% K patch, which can appear darker as a result of the black processing in color management.

If the test page does not appear satisfactory, it might be because the output profile associated with the calibration setting is not appropriate for the paper and print settings.
