Calibration
Fiery Calibrator
Digital print engines, particularly color copiers, are susceptible to
gradual shifts in color consistency caused by changes in temperature
and humidity, fluctuation in CMYK toner levels and use of various
paper stocks. To compensate for these variables, the print system
needs to be brought back to a standardized color appearance. Users
can accomplish this task by applying new calibrations at regular
intervals or before printing jobs with critical color requirements. When
the user calibrates, the Fiery server corrects for current color behavior
of the print engine.
Fiery Calibrator allows the user more visibility into a job’s calibration
status.
The calibration tool, located in Job Properties, allows users to see
details of each calibration set, including the date the set was last
calibrated. Operators can see the optimal paper brand and media
settings for each calibration set, allowing them to make more accurate
choices when setting up a job to print.
Benefits
Increases color consistency by calibrating for specific media.
Saves time by allowing users to calibrate for the media they need at the time they need it.
Easier to Calibrate
The Fiery Calibrator tool helps operators consistently achieve the color they want with a user interface that makes the calibration process
easier to navigate, featuring a wizard to guide users through it. Contextual Help is available to explain every choice in configuring and
using the Fiery Calibrator.
The Calibrator separates the different calibration functions in different windows:
• Calibrate : perform the actual calibration process.
• Manage: manage calibration sets.
• Preferences: set up functions.
This separation simplifies the user interface, making the calibration process easier
to navigate.
Guided Calibration
With Fiery servers, the calibration process is extremely simple. The user only has to select the media, and the system automatically
populates tray information for that media. It is now also possible to calibrate using any paper type and size equal to or larger than letter/A4.
