Setting a default color output profile

If you do not want to manually select an output profile for every job, you can specify an output profile as the default. You can also override the default setting for a specific job.

Your preferred output profile must be specified according to the Use job defined settings rules.

For jobs using Paper Catalog:

Do not modify the front and back color profile settings for your media/substrate.
The specified profile will be used, unless the setting is Server’s default.

For jobs not using Paper Catalog, or when Paper Catalog specifies Server’s default:

Go to Device Center > Resources > Profiles. Under Output Profiles, select your preferred output profile and associate it with all the available media types.
Note: Association of output profiles with media is only possible if the Fiery server workflow supports it.

You can override the default for a specific job by going to Job Properties > Color > Output profile. Instead of Use job defined settings, select a profile from the list. You can also set a specific output profile as the default by accessing Set defaults from the Server menu in Command WorkStation.

Note: The default output profile displayed in the Color tab of the Default Settings window is that set by the Fiery server. The note displayed there ("Use job defined settings" is always the default profile selection.) refers to the Output profile menu in the Job Properties window.

If a job is using Paper Catalog, the default output profile will be that specified in the Paper Catalog entry for the front color profile and the back color profile. Server's default is the profile determined by the Fiery server. For more information, see How does the Fiery server decide which output profile to use?.
