2-1 An overview of calibration
Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. You can calibrate
the Fiery using ColorWise Pro Tools in combination with any of the following color
measurement instruments, available as separately purchased options:
• X-Rite DTP41 automatic scanning spectrophotometer
• X-Rite DTP32 automatic scanning densitometer
• EFI Densitometer ED–100 hand-held densitometer
• EFI Spectrometer ES–1000 hand-held spectrometer
By connecting the instrument to the serial port on your computer, you can quickly
measure calibration color patches and download measurements to the Fiery. For
information on setting up and operating the DTP41 and DTP32, see
Appendix A .
You can also obtain measurements from the copier’s built-in scanner and calibrate
using AutoCal
™ or ColorCal ™ , which do not require the use of a measurement
instrument and can be run from ColorWise Pro Tools or the Control Panel.
This chapter explains how calibration works and provides instructions for all
calibration procedures.
For information on advanced calibration and simulation features available with
ColorWise Pro Tools, such as editing profiles and creating custom profiles, see
Chapter 3 . A format for inputting color measurements from other densitometers
is described in Appendix B .

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. This chapter shows screens and
dialog boxes for the Windows version.
