Printer Profiler measurement method and patch layout
If the Fiery Server supports color printing and Fiery Color Profiler Suite is installed on your computer, you have the
option to create a custom output profile after you create a custom calibration setting. You can set the default
measurement method and patch layout for Printer Profiler.
The list of measurement methods and the list of available patch layouts are provided by Fiery Color Profiler Suite.
ColorCal is not available as a measurement method for profiling. It does not provide enough accuracy.
Calibration settings
If your Fiery Server supports color printing, you can access one or more calibration settings. Typically, calibration
settings and output profiles are appropriate for specific paper and printing conditions. A calibration setting can be
associated with more than one output profile.
To find out which calibration setting is associated with a particular output profile, check the profile settings in
Command WorkStation.
View job properties of a calibration setting
You can view the job properties associated with a calibration setting. The calibration setting is appropriate for
printing jobs that have the same job properties. These job properties are used to print the calibration page.
The Job Properties window displays all the print settings associated with the calibration setting, whether related to
calibration or not. The settings are specified when the calibration setting is created. You cannot modify the settings
of an existing calibration setting.
Many print settings have no effect on calibration. However, print settings that affect image quality (such as the
halftone screen or resolution) do affect calibration.
Settings in the Color tab of the Job Properties window are ignored when printing the calibration page.

View measurement data of a calibration setting
Measurement data is saved when you calibrate for a specific calibration setting. The measurement data can be
displayed on a graph with the calibration target data, so that you can see how closely the measured printer output
matches the calibration target.
