CALIBRATION 56
Adding custom calibration sets and output profiles
If you determine that none of the factory-supplied output profiles yields acceptable color with
your paper, you must create a custom calibration set in Calibrator and a custom profile using
profile-generating software such as EFI Color Profiler Suite (see scenario 4 in the table under
“Using the output profiles and calibration sets” on page 52).
NOTE: Before creating a custom calibration set and custom output profile, make sure that the
digital press is calibrated (if calibration is supported on the digital press). For information
about performing digital press calibration, see the documentation that accompanies the
digital press.
Calibration on the EX8002 requires that each output profile contains a calibration target. If
an output profile does not contain a calibration target, when you import the output profile to
the EX8002, the calibration target from the default output profile is added to the imported
profile. The procedures in this section describe how to make sure that an appropriate
calibration target is added to your custom output profile when you import it to the EX8002
and associate it with a custom calibration set.
To create the calibration target, you print a page of color patches on the EX8002 using your
paper and measure the page using Calibrator. Next, you copy the calibration target to a
temporary output profile and set this profile as the default output profile. When you import
your custom output profile, the calibration target is added from the temporary output profile.
Follow these procedures to use custom calibration sets and output profiles.
• Print a measurement page.
• Measure the measurement page.
• Create a custom calibration set and a temporary output profile.
• Set up the calibration target in the temporary output profile.
• Create a custom output profile and save it to your computer.
• Import the custom output profile to the EX8002.
• Delete the temporary output profile.
