66-4 Color CalibrationSet up a standard printing environment in Control Panel Setup by selecting printingoptions that correspond to the way you usually print. Then print one or more standardcolor pages. You can print the Color Charts from the Control Panel and the ColorReference pages that are included with your user software. See “Using the colorreference pages” on page 2-5 or page 3-15. All of these pages include fully saturatedcolor patches and pale tints of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Images with skintones offer a very good basis for comparison. You can save and compare pages youprinted at different times. If there is a noticeable change in appearance, you shouldcalibrate or linearize your Fiery SI system.If your solid density patches (100% cyan, magenta, yellow or black) look less saturatedwith time, show the pages to the copier or printer technician to find out if anadjustment can be made to improve the output.Checking calibration statusBefore printing a job, you should check to see whether the Fiery SI is calibrated, whattarget was used, and when the printer was last calibrated. You can view informationabout the last calibration:• At the Fiery SI, by printing a Configuration page or Test Page from the ControlPanel Functions menu.• With the Fiery XJ Print Calibrator by choosing Calibration Status from the Servermenu. This method gives you additional information. See “To view informationwith the Fiery XJ Print Calibrator:” on page 6-13.Using a densitometerIf you calibrate your Fiery SI from either the Control Panel or the Fiery XJ PrintCalibrator, you can use a densitometer to input color information. The procedure isthe same in both cases.For additional information about setting up and using your densitometer, see thedocumentation that came with it.Setting up the densitometerBefore you calibrate the Fiery SI, configure and zero your reflection densitometer toprepare for measuring the printed patches.
