CALIBRATION 52

Managing calibration settings

Every output profile on the EX700i must be associated with a calibration setting. The

calibration setting provides the EX700i with measurements of the density response of the

digital press dry inks for specific printing conditions (for example, media type). This data,

along with the expected density response of the digital press, allows the EX700i to apply

corrections to color values that are sent to the digital press, to achieve the calibrated output.

For more information, see “Understanding calibration” on page 56.

An output profile can be associated with only one calibration setting, but the same calibration

setting can be used by more than one output profile.

A calibration setting must be associated with at least one output profile, otherwise the

calibration setting will never be used for printing.

Output profiles and calibration settings

The EX700i is shipped with one or more output profiles. You may obtain good color quality

with the factory-supplied output profiles and their associated calibration settings (see

scenarios 1 and 2 in the following table). However, you may need to create custom calibration

settings and output profiles, depending on your situation (see scenarios 3 and 4 in the

following table).

profile is based on)

You will obtain acceptable color

when you print with the output

profile. You do not need to

create a calibration setting or

custom profile.
