Achieving predictable color every time is a major challenge for any business and calibration is the most 
important aspect in color printing. All toner based print engines use mechanisms sensible to environmental 
factors like humidity and temperature. Calibration is essential to maintain a consistent color reproduction 
despite those environmental changes. The Fiery controllers offer two calibration methods, using an external 
measuring device like the ES-2000 (or OEM specific GretagMacbeth Eye-One) spectrophotometer or using 
the integrated copier scanner or ColorCal method. This how-to guide will describe the ES2000 method of 
calibration. 

•  Calibration is activated per job, if necessary, when the Calibrate Preferences is configured to suspend 

printing after calibration expires. This assures each chosen job will have up-to-date calibration applied 
via the EFI ES-2000 spectrophotometer. 

• Configure 

Calibrate 

Preferences. 

•  Calibrate the Fiery Server to achieve consistent and reproducible colors using the EFI ES-2000. 
•  Perform Job-based Calibration with Calibrate Preferences to suspend printing after calibration expires 

enabled. 

•  Print a selected job in the Command WorkStation Held Queue. Processed job will be Suspended, 

right-click to select Properties. Calibrate using the EFI ES-2000.

•  Have Fiery Command WorkStation 5.4.0 or above opened and connected to at least one Fiery server, 

running Fiery FS100/FS100 Pro or above. 

•  Login as the Administrator on Command WorkStation. 
•  Have the EFI ES-2000 Spectrophotometer connected to the system running Command WorkStation. 

 

Note: 

Calibration Preferences require an Administrator login on Command WorkStation. 

Calibration can be performed by an Operator or Administrator login on Command 
WorkStation.
