Complete the printer calibration

In this step, you can create a report of the calibration settings. If you have a license for Color Profiler Suite, you can check if the calibration's color gamut fits into a reference, before you go on to create a media profile.

  1. Type a new media name (optional).

    By defining a new media name, you ensure that each calibration file is associated with only one media.

  2. Click Compare in Profile Inspector (optional).

    If you have a license for Color Profiler Suite, you can compare the color gamut of the calibration file with ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc, GRACoL2006_Coated1v2.icc, or any custom profile.

    Color Profiler Suite displays a 3D view of the color gamuts. By viewing the 3D model from all sides, you can see which color values do not fit into the color gamut of the reference.
  3. Under Finalize or continue profiling, select one of the following:
    • Create ICC profile in Color Profiler Suite.

    • Save calibration (EPL) without ICC profile

  4. Click Create Report (optional). The HTML report provides an easy way to archive or print details of the calibration. The report contains details of the calibration settings, ink limits, and color gamut.
  5. Click Finish.
Now watch the video on inspecting a calibration file here, and on saving your calibration file here.
You can use the calibration file for the following purposes:
  • You can connect it to an existing media profile.

  • You can use it to print jobs without color management. For example, you need to print charts without color management if you want to create a media profile using a third-party software.

If you have a license for Color Profiler Suite, you can go on to create a media profile.
