You can verify the color consistency of your jobs by printing out a control
bar and measuring it against a selected reference.
Before you begin:
- Make sure that you have selected a control bar
that is compatible with your measuring device.
- Make sure that you have defined dE tolerance
values.
- Connect your measuring device to the
computer.
-
Print a job with a control
bar.
-
In Job Center, select the job. In the
Job Summary area, click Verify
next to the color bar you want to measure.
The verification tool starts.
-
Do one of the following:
- Fiery Verify: Follow the on-screen instructions
to measure the printed control bar.
- Verifier: On the
Joblist/Preview tab, double-click the control bar
that you want to measure. Verifier populates the
left-hand table with the L*a*b* color values of the reference. Under the
right-hand table, click Measure, and follow the
on-screen instructions to measure the printed control bar.
After you have measured the control bar, the verification tool indicates
whether the job has passed verification.
You can also view:
- The L*a*b* measurement
results
- The dE value achieved for
each color
- An analysis of the
measurement results
Note: In Fiery Verify, you must click Details to
display this information.
-
Do one of the following to send the measurement data back to Command WorkStation:
In Job Center, the job
receives the status Verified or Verification
failed. The measurement data are sent back to Command WorkStation and displayed in Job Editor on the Verify
Control Bar panel.
If the verification failed, you may be able to
optimize the result to achieve a pass. For more information, see Optimize verification results.
You can create a remote container from verified
results. A remote container contains all the information that is needed to create a
color-accurate proof at multiple sites. For more information, see Create remote containers.
