In this course, you will learn what color management is and how it works.
Color 201: Fiery proServer and Fiery XF color control features
Learn about the powerful tools available in your Fiery system used to ensure color accuracy.
Learn how to address color management or spot color issues you may encounter when printing files.
Color 203: Standard printer calibration
This course will show you how to build these files for EFI Wide Format printers and for many of the non-EFI brand printers that your system supports.
Color 205: Standard ICC media profiling
After building an accurate calibration file for your system, your next step is to build an equally accurate ICC media profile and properly configure the black generation settings.
Color 206: Advanced ICC media profiling
This course will teach you how to create high quality profiles using the advanced ICC media profiling process including how to correctly configure the black generation settings.

In this course you will learn how to utilize all of the Fiery spot color tools to ensure that spot colors are reproduced as accurately as possible.
Color 208: Profile optimization
This course will teach you the procedures you need to perform in order to complete both the profile optimization and the recalibration process.
In this course you will learn about using the Verifier option. It will help you ensure that each job produced conforms to the appropriate industry or shop specification.
In this course you will learn how to use the Verifier option to bring quality control to your environment, enabling your employees anywhere to work with the same colors and produce consistent color output every time.
COLOR SHIFT/DRIFT
Color variation is an inevitable occurrence with any printer. It’s normal to experience minor variation over a period of weeks. Sudden changes beyond normal variation or slow degradation over longer periods of time are reasons to be concerned.
The variation may be a mechanical issue like a clogged print head. It’s also possible a batch of OEM ink may have changed slightly during the manufacturing process. Sometimes the variation can be caused by an environmental variable like humidity or temperature.
We recommend recalibration of the printer to bring the system back into tolerance. Recalibration should be performed by a trained technician equipped with a spectrophotometer. The color variation in the printer should be corrected after the technician has completed the recalibration process.
