Understanding calibration
To monitor print quality, print the following color reference pages:
• Color Charts from Command WorkStation (see the
• Color reference pages included with the user software (see the
)
All these pages include fully saturated color patches and pale tints of cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black. Images with skin tones offer a very good basis for comparison. Save
and compare pages you printed at different times. If there is a noticeable change in
appearance, calibrate the Fiery.
When you examine the Test Page, all color patches should be visible, even though they
may be very faint in the five percent and two percent range. Each color’s patch set
should show uniform gradation from patch to patch as the color lightens from 100
percent to zero percent.
If the solid density patches (100% cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) look less saturated
with time, show the pages to your copier service technician to determine whether
adjusting the copier can improve output.
Checking calibration status
To verify whether the Fiery is calibrated, which calibration set and output profile were
used, and when the copier was last calibrated:
• Print a Configuration page or Test Page from Command WorkStation, or print a
Configuration page from the Xerox DocuColor 3535.
• Select a calibration set in Calibrator—the last calibration and the user who
performed it are displayed.
