With the Print Pages option, print Comparison Pages showing the results of the new
measurements with any profile associated with the currently selected calibration set. You can
create a custom Comparison Page and save it as a PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
file called CALIB.PS. Next, print the file to the Hold queue of the Fiery X3eTY2 from your
application. You can also create a CALIB.PS file by renaming any job in the Hold queue using
Command WorkStation (see

When more than one profile uses the same target, an additional menu called Plot Against
appears in the upper-right corner of the dialog box. It lists all output profiles that use that
same calibration set. Selecting an output profile from this menu displays the target curves
associated with that profile. If each output profile contains a unique calibration target, the
curves displayed also change when you switch profiles.
