System information
In Fiery Profile Editor (part of Fiery Color Profiler Suite), you can edit the color data that define the gamut of an
output profile .
Edit profiles in Color Editor
With Color Editor, you can adjust features such as brightness, CMYK density curves, target densities and gray
balance (for output profiles), and paper simulation (for CMYK source profiles).
Edits made with Color Editor are for printing with the Fiery Server only. They do not affect the profile if the profile is
used in another context.
1
In Device Center, click the Resources tab, and then click Profiles.
2
Select a profile and click Edit.
3
Select Color Editor.
Note: If Fiery Color Profiler Suite is not installed on your computer, you can skip this step. Color Editor will
open automatically.

In Color Editor, adjust the density curves. For fine adjustments, work with only one or two colors at a time.
The curves on the graph map the input percentage to the output percentage for each of the four color channels
(C, M, Y, and K). The percentages refer to the size of the CMYK halftone dots.
• To show or hide the C, M, Y, or K curves, click the "eye" icon for each color.
• To bring a curve to the front, click its color bar, next to the "eye" icon.
• To adjust the brightness of the curves that are shown, use the plus and minus buttons.
• To adjust a curve, drag a point on the curve, click a point and type new numbers in the Input and Output
fields, or click a point and use the arrow keys to move it.
Note: Adjust the curves after you adjust the brightness.

For output profiles: Optionally, if your Fiery Server stores the calibration target in the output profile, you can edit
the maximum densities of the calibration target (the D-Max values) for each color (C, M, Y, and K).
If the D-Max values are not shown, then your Fiery Server stores the calibration target separately from the output
profile. In this case, you can view and adjust the D-Max values in Calibrator.
Caution: Even if you can edit the maximum density values, we recommend that you only view them. A
calibration target represents the ideal values for calibration, and the output profile contains these values.
The calibration target should not be changed unnecessarily.
6
For output profiles: Optionally, adjust the gray balance of the output profile by clicking AutoGray.
7
For CMYK source profiles: Optionally, if the Fiery Server supports paper simulation, configure settings for white
point simulation by clicking Paper Simulation.
8
Optionally, print a test page.
9
When you are finished, click Save and enter a description for the new profile.
Important: If you do not enter a new description, the edited profile overwrites the original. If you edit and save a
locked profile, you can only save it as a copy. A locked profile cannot be overwritten.
