Note: Recommended papers are chosen for color quality, as well as other factors, such as feeding reliability and
quality of transfer.
Find recommended paper and print settings
You can find the recommended paper and print settings for a particular output profile in Calibrator.
1 In Command WorkStation, in Device Center, click the Color Setup tab and click Color Management.
2
Select the output profile and note the name of the calibration setting displayed to the right.
3 In Device Center, click the General tab, click Tools, and then click Manage under Calibrate.
The list of calibration settings on the Fiery ES appears in Calibrator.
4
Select the calibration setting from the list.
The recommended paper is shown in the list and the required print settings are displayed in the calibration-
related properties.
5 Click Close to close the window.
Custom calibration settings
If you are printing on a paper that is similar to the recommended paper, but uses different print settings, you might
still be able to use the output profile, but you must create a custom calibration setting. If the color quality is
acceptable, you do not need to create a custom profile.
You can add a new calibration setting that you can then select when performing calibration. You can delete a custom
calibration setting. You cannot delete a factory-supplied calibration setting.
For information about adding a custom calibration setting, see the online help.
Custom calibration settings and output profiles
If you determine that none of the factory-supplied output profiles produces acceptable color with your paper, you
must create a custom calibration setting in Calibrator and a custom profile using profile-generating software.
To create a custom calibration setting, you print a page of color patches on the Fiery ES using your paper and
measure the page with Calibrator.
If Fiery Color Profiler Suite is installed on your computer, you can start it from within Calibrator to create a custom
output profile immediately after creating a custom calibration setting.
Note: Before creating a custom calibration setting and custom output profile, make sure that the printer is calibrated
(if calibration is supported on the printer). For information about performing printer calibration, see the
documentation that accompanies the printer.
