Calibrating with ColorCal
ColorCal allows you to calibrate the Fiery X3eTY2 without the use of an additional
spectrophotometer or densitometer. Instead, ColorCal uses the MFP’s built-in scanner to
measure toner density values.
spectrophotometer or densitometer. Instead, ColorCal uses the MFP’s built-in scanner to
measure toner density values.
ColorCal has the following differences:
•
Scanner calibration:
ColorCal allows you to calibrate the scanner (MFP feeder) using the
Kodak Color and Gray Scale strips.
•
Measurement page:
For ColorCal, square black-and-white and color patches are randomly
printed on the ColorCal Measurement Page. This allows ColorCal to be less influenced by
MFP conditions, providing greater accuracy in color reproduction and calibration.

To calibrate using ColorCal, you need the Kodak Gray Scale strip included in the
customer media pack that came with your Fiery X3eTY2. You also need the Kodak Gray Scale
strip and Kodak Color Control Patches strip to calibrate the scanner of the MFP for
ColorCal.

When you run ColorCal from ColorWise Pro Tools, you have the option to calibrate the
MFP’s scanner before calibrating the Fiery X3eTY2 itself. We recommend that you
calibrate the scanner for ColorCal whenever the MFP output is adjusted, for example,
after maintenance or service.
