Color Calibration
Once you have calibrated the Fiery 3850C with ColorWise Pro Tools or with
VisualCal, a calibration set is stored on the Fiery 3850C. This calibration set is used
when it is associated with an output profile. Every output profile has an associated
calibration set. If you have not specified one, the calibration set associated with the
default output profile is used.

Changing calibration has the potential to affect all jobs for all users, so you
may want to limit the number of people authorized to perform calibration. You can set
an Administrator password from the Fiery 3850C Control Panel or in Setup from
Command WorkStation to control access to calibration.
Understanding calibration
Although most users’ needs are met by the default calibration set, the Fiery 3850C
allows you to choose a calibration set to customize calibration for specialized jobs.
Calibration allows you to:
• Maximize the color reproduction capabilities of the Fiery 3850C.
• Ensure consistent color quality over time.
• Produce consistent output across Fiery 3850C servers that are connected to the same
print engine.
• Achieve better color matches when reproducing spot colors such as PANTONE
colors or other named color systems.
• Optimize the Fiery 3850C for using ColorWise rendering styles (CRDs), CMYK
simulations, and ICC profiles.
