2-33 An overview of calibration
C9800 Color Guide - 33
Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. This chapter explains
how calibration works and provides instructions for all calibration procedures. You can
calibrate the Fiery using ColorWise Pro Tools in combination with any of the
following color measurement instruments:
• EFI Spectrometer ES-1000 hand-held spectrometer
• EFI Densitometer ED-100 hand-held densitometer
• X-Rite DTP41 automatic scanning spectrophotometer
• X-Rite DTP32 automatic scanning densitometer
By connecting one of these instruments to a serial or USB port on your computer, you
can quickly measure calibration color patches and download measurements to the
Fiery.
NOTE: To use the ES-1000 or ED-100 with a Mac OS computer, you must connect the
instrument to a USB port. For more information, contact your service
technician/representative. For information on setting up and operating the DTP41
and DTP32, see Appendix A.
For information on advanced calibration and simulation features available with
ColorWise Pro Tools, such as editing profiles and creating custom profiles, see
Chapter 3. A format for inputting color measurements from other densitometers is
described in Appendix B.
NOTE: The procedures described in this chapter are fundamentally the same for
Windows and Mac OS computers. The main differences are the interface cable and the
port used to connect to the measurement instrument. The illustrations in this chapter
describe the Windows version.
NOTE: The term computer is used to refer to any computer running ColorWise Pro
Tools.
