Colour Calibration
An overview of calibration
Calibration generates curves that adjust for the difference between the actual toner
densities (measurements) and the response expected by the output profile.
• Measurements represent the actual colour behavior of the printer.
• Calibration sets are sets of measurements.
• A calibration target that describes the expected behavior of the printer is contained
in each output profile.
After you have calibrated the Fiery, a calibration set is stored. This calibration set will
be 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.
If you change the calibration after a saved job has been processed (RIPped), you do not
need to reprocess (reRIP) the job. The new calibration affects the job without a need
for reprocessing.

Changing calibration has the potential to affect
all
jobs for
all
users, so consider
limiting the number of people authorized to perform calibration. Set an Administrator
password in Fiery Setup to control access to calibration (see the
Chapter 7
).
