EFI ES-2000 Spectrophotometer
This EFI ES-2000 Spectrophotometer Setup Guide describes the EFI ES-2000
Spectrophotometer, a hand-held, color measurement instrument that measures the
reflected spectra of color printer output, textiles, and other colored materials.
You can use the EFI ES-2000 Spectrophotometer with:
• Fiery Color Profiler Suite software to create color profiles for color printers or
monitors, as well as read color samples from specific objects when analyzing or
editing profiles.
For information on purchasing Fiery Color Profiler Suite, contact a sales
representative.
• The Calibrator, Spot-On, and Paper Simulation features of Fiery Command
WorkStation.
• Fiery XF (a wide-format solution for proofing and production) for linearization,
profiling, color verification, and spot color measurement.
Note: The term “EFI ES-2000” is used in this document to refer to the EFI ES-2000
Spectrophotometer.
This document includes specifications and troubleshooting information for the
EFI ES-2000, and includes procedures that allow you to do the following:
• Set up the EFI ES-2000 and connect it to your computer
• Measure color patches with the EFI ES-2000
