66-1 Understanding calibration Chapter 6: Color Calibration Calibrating your Fiery SI ensures consistent, reliable color output. You can calibrate the Fiery SI in several ways: • Scan a page from the copier glass and use automatic calibration (AutoCal™). • Connect a densitometer to your Fiery SI and calibrate it from the Control Panel. • Connect a densitometer to your Macintosh or IBM PC-compatible and download calibration to your Fiery SI with the Fiery XJ Print Calibrator. This chapter describes the function of calibration and describes how to calibrate your Fiery SI. NOTE: Changing calibration affects all jobs for all users, so you may want to limit the number of people authorized to calibrate the Fiery SI and use Fiery XJ Print Calibrator. Understanding calibration Calibration allows you to: • Maximize the color reproduction capabilities of the Fiery SI • Ensure consistent color quality across time • Produce consistent output across Fiery SI servers of the same kind • Optimize your Fiery SI for use with EFICOLOR color management software • Use your Fiery SI as a prooﬁng system • Achieve better color matches when you're reproducing spot colors, such as PANTONE colors or other named color systems • Linearize your Fiery SI while maintaining the currently available density range • Create custom calibration targets and custom calibration curves
