Introduction

Features

The EPSON Color Calibrator restores your EPSON Stylus®Pro

5000 or 9000 printer to its originally designed color settings. By

creating a color profile for your printer and then implementing it

on your EPSON RS-5000 Fiery®RIP version 1.3 or your EPSON

RS-5100 Fiery X2 RIP, the calibrator helps you achieve consistent

color output.

You can also calibrate your system to match your printing

vendor’s system using ICC profiles. This lets you preview your

output at the earliest possible stage in your prepress workflow.

Note:

The calibrator can only adjust to ICC profiles that are based on

JapanColor, SWOP, or EURO profiles.
