2-38 An overview of calibration
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 38
Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. This
chapter explains how calibration works and provides instructions
for all calibration procedures. You can calibrate the Fiery using
ColorWise Pro Tools in combination with any of the following color
measurement instruments:
• EFI Spectrometer ES-1000 hand-held spectrometer
• EFI Densitometer ED-100 hand-held densitometer
• X-Rite DTP41 automatic scanning spectrophotometer
• X-Rite DTP32 automatic scanning densitometer
By connecting one of these instruments to a serial or USB port on
your computer, you can quickly measure calibration color patches
and download measurements to the Fiery.
Note:
To use the ES-1000 or ED-100 with a Mac OS computer, you
must connect the instrument to a USB port. For more information,
contact your service technician/representative. For information on
setting up and operating the DTP41 and DTP32, see
For information on advanced calibration and simulation features
available with ColorWise Pro Tools, such as editing profiles and
creating custom profiles, see
. A format for inputting
color measurements from other densitometers is described in
.
Note:
The procedures described in this chapter are fundamentally
the same for Windows and Mac OS computers. The main
differences are the interface cable and the port used to connect to
the measurement instrument. The illustrations in this chapter
describe the Windows version.
Note:
The term
computer
is used to refer to any computer running
ColorWise Pro Tools.
