66-3 Understanding calibration • DIC-Japanese press standard. • Euroscale-European press standard. • Linear-Results in output that divides the maximum measured density for each color into equal density steps to provide an even distribution of tones over the copier's density range. When you linearize the Fiery SI, the entire measured density range in each color channel is divided into equal steps. Equal steps in ink percentage, such as 0%, 10%, and 20%, are printed in equal steps in density, and appear as roughly equal visual steps. This gives a linear response using the range of densities available. • SWOP-Coated-US press standard. Scheduling calibration In general, you should calibrate the Fiery SI at least once a week. If it is very important to maintain consistent colors, or if your Fiery SI is subject to wide fluctuations in temperature or humidity, you should calibrate every few hours. In general, to get the best performance from your copier, calibrate whenever there is a noticeable change in print quality. If you need to split a print job into two or more batches, it is especially important to calibrate before printing each batch. You should also calibrate your Fiery SI system after copier maintenance. However, because your copier may be unstable immediately after maintenance, you should wait until you have printed approximately 50 pages before you calibrate. NOTE: Copier output is very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. To minimize these effects, your copier should not be installed near a window or in direct sunlight, or near a heater or air conditioner. Your copier may have a self-calibration feature that optimizes toner densities after scanning a test page on the copier glass or some other method. You can use this feature in conjunction with Fiery SI calibration. Always run the copier's self-calibration routine before calibrating. Using the copier's calibration feature alone will not necessarily bring output densities from your copier to the optimal values for Fiery SI printing.

Scheduling calibration
In general, you should calibrate the Fiery SI at least once a week. If it is very important
to maintain consistent colors, or if your Fiery SI is subject to wide fluctuations in
temperature or humidity, you should calibrate every few hours. In general, to get the
best performance from your copier, calibrate whenever there is a noticeable change in
print quality.
If you need to split a print job into two or more batches, it is especially important to
calibrate before printing each batch.
You should also calibrate your Fiery SI system after copier maintenance. However,
because your copier may be unstable immediately after maintenance, you should wait
until you have printed approximately 50 pages before you calibrate.
