Using ColorWise Pro Tools
ColorWise Pro Tools are color management applications that give you flexible
control of color printing. There are three tools:
•
Calibrator
•
Color Editor
•
Profile Manager
ColorWise Pro Tools for Windows and Mac OS computers are fundamentally
the same; differences are noted in this chapter.
Calibrator
Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. You can
calibrate the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools using an X-Rite DTP32
automatic scanning densitometer (available as an option). By connecting the
densitometer to the serial port on your computer, you can quickly measure
color patches and download measurements to the Fiery.
This section explains how calibration works and provides instructions for all
calibration procedures.
Introduction
Calibration generates curves that compensate for the difference between the
actual toner densities (measurements) and the response expected by the
output profile.
•
Measurements represent the actual color behavior of the printer.
•
Calibration sets are sets of measurements.
•
A calibration target that describes the expected behavior of the prints is
contained in each output profile.
Once you have calibrated the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools, a calibration
set is stored on the Fiery. 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.
