EFI Fiery ES IC-418, Configuration And Setup, Page: 57 / 243

Test page
The Test page is printed with the same media and global settings as your job. However, color objects on this page are
printed independently of the user-specified source color definitions (such as CMYK and RGB source profiles).
If the color on the Test page is not correct, it is probably because of the output profile, calibration, or printer.
If the color on this page prints correctly, but the colors of objects in the job do not, it is likely because of a problem
with the objects themselves that cause them to be printed incorrectly. The problem might be the wrong color values
for text and graphics, bad quality images, or out-of-gamut colors.
Color-coded pages
Postflight can print a color-coded version of the original document that prints each object in a color that identifies
its source color space.
The colors used to represent the color spaces for objects are as follows:
•
Gray objects: Gray
•
CMYK objects: Cyan
•
RGB objects: Red
•
Device-independent objects: Indigo
•
Spot color objects: Yellow
After identifying the color spaces of the objects that are printing incorrectly, you can make appropriate changes to
the settings that affect those color spaces to correct the problem.
Postflight examples
Scenarios show how Postflight can be helpful to users who require high-quality color.
•
Diagnose an unexpected color
•
Check the calibration status of a job
• Check the quality of an output profile
•
Diagnose a color problem with a specific object
For each of the scenarios, instead of printing the report to the Fiery ES, you can send it to the Hold queue of the Fiery
ES and preview the information (of a job with raster data) in ImageViewer.
Note:
The procedures for printing a job from a Windows and a Mac OS computer are similar.
