20 Using ColorWise Pro Tools ColorWise Pro Tools are color management applications that give you flexible control of color printing. There are three tools: • Calibrator • Color Editor • Profile Manager ColorWise Pro Tools for Windows and Mac OS computers are fundamentally the same; differences are noted in this chapter. Calibrator Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. You can calibrate the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools using an X-Rite DTP32 automatic scanning densitometer (available as an option). By connecting the densitometer to the serial port on your computer, you can quickly measure color patches and download measurements to the Fiery. This section explains how calibration works and provides instructions for all calibration procedures. Introduction Calibration generates curves that compensate for the difference between the actual toner densities (measurements) and the response expected by the output profile. • Measurements represent the actual color behavior of the copier. • Calibration sets are sets of measurements. • A calibration target that describes the expected behavior of the copiers is contained in each output profile. Once you have calibrated the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools, a calibration set is stored on the Fiery. This calibration set will be used when it is associated with an output profile. Every output profile has an associated calibration set. If you have not specified one, the calibration set associated with the default output profile is used. Xerox DocuColor 2006 20-1
