Print a calibration page
When you print a calibration page, first specify the calibration setting (color printers), paper source, and measurement method.
When you start calibration for a specific job, only calibration setting(s) used to print the job is shown. Multiple calibration settings are commonly used by mixed-media jobs.
The recommended paper and the date and time of the most recent calibration measurements associated with the selected calibration setting are displayed. If no date and time are given, the Fiery server has not been calibrated (for this calibration setting).
Be sure the paper source contains paper that is appropriate for the calibration setting. If a warning appears under the Paper Source setting, it might be because the paper source does not match the calibration setting. You can either select a different calibration setting or a different paper source.
If none of the calibration settings matches perfectly to your paper, you may want to experiment with an available setting resembling your paper. If it produces unacceptable results, you should create a new calibration and profile specific for your paper.
- Set the following options:
For color printers. select a calibration setting in the Calibrate for list.
Select the desired paper source in the Paper source list.
Select a method in the Measurement method list.
Calibrator supports several types of spectrophotometer, including EFI ES-3000 and X-Rite i1Pro3.
If measurement options are available for calibration using the selected instrument, a Settings button will appear near the instrument.
Other types of measurement instruments may be supported by the printer connected to the Fiery server.
- Click Continue to print the calibration page and proceed to measurement.
