Calibration with the EX2000


Calibrating for different paper stocks and screens...
When calibrating the Fiery EX2000 with ColorWise Pro Tools, you can select
a combination of different paper weights (coated or uncoated) and different
screens. Because printing with different screens and media may very well
lead to different measured densities, ColorWise offers you to save them in
distinct calibration sets.

Calibration sets will only be used when associated with an output profile.
Every time you calibrate, all profiles associated with the calibrator-specified
set will be updated. Profiles not using this calibrator-specified set will not be
calibrated. It is therefore important for every profile to be associated with
the proper calibration set. Downloaded profiles are automatically associated
to the same set as the default output profile. You may need to change this
association.

The default output profile for the DC2045/60 is associated to a calibration


set for printing with the 200 dot rotated screen on "normal" paper (uncoat-
ed 81-105gsm). If you are using different printing conditions
(screens/media), you need to maintain different calibration sets.

Only once for each calibration set you will be


using, it is recommended that you duplicate the
default output profile. Then associate the output
profile with its intended calibration set.

Start by calibrating the Fiery system for your specif-


ic printing conditions (for example: 200 dot rotat-
ed/220 gsm), by using Calibrator in the
ColorWise Pro Tools menu. Next close Calibrator
and launch Profile Manager.

1) How to duplicate the default output pro-


file:
Highlight the Fiery/Xerox DC2000 profile in the
Output profile section and click the[Edit]button at
the top of the window.

The Color Editor window will be displayed. Without making any


edits, click the [Save] button at the bottom of the window.

Calibration with the EX2000 (continued)

Enter a new name for the profile which will reflect the type of job it is
optimized for (such as "Xerox DC2000_220gsm"), and click [Save]
again.
Note: This will facilitate selecting the proper output profile when using Fiery
Driver bi-directional capabilities. If profile selection will be done from
Command Workstation or a platform that does not support Fiery driver,
then in the next step, you should associate the new output profile to a spe-
cific name in the driver (such as Output-1, Output-2, etc.).

2) How to associate a calibration set to a profile:


Back in Profile Manager, double-click on the new output profile you just creat-
ed. Under [Use Calibration Set], select the media and the screen you used
when you calibrated the Fiery. While in this window, you can also link your out-
put profile to a name in the driver. To do so; go under [Appear in driver
as...], select from Output-1 through 10, whichever is not already used and
click [OK].

The new profile can be set as the default profile if it represents standard print-
ing conditions for all end-users. If not let user select the profile for a special
media/screen on a job basis. Hit [OK] to apply your changes.

Click [Done] to exit Profile Manager.

3) Using your profile/calibration set com-


bination:
In the printer-specific printing options menu
(PPD), remember to select: the output profile,
the media and the screen (digital press mode)
you want for the job. All these options must
match your calibrated setup, otherwise colors
might not!
