EFI Fiery ES IC-418 - Color Print Options; Color Management on the Fiery es

Color print options
The Fiery ES provides print options that affect the output of color objects in various color spaces. By specifying the
appropriate settings for each print option, you can obtain the expected results for your jobs.
Color management determines how color data in a job is converted to the color data that is sent to the printer. Some
color print options affect the color management applied to a job. Other color print options are not related to color
management.
Color management on the Fiery ES
The color management system on the Fiery ES determines how the color data in a document is converted from
source to output.
Applications allow you to generate color data in different color spaces. The most common type of color data
produced from office applications is RGB, while prepress applications generally produce CMYK data. Desktop
applications also generate spot colors, such as PANTONE colors. A single page of a document may contain a mix of
RGB, CMYK, grayscale, and spot colors.
Through print options that apply specifically to RGB, CMYK, grayscale, or spot color data, you specify the color
management of a job.
Note: Before you set these color management options, you must set the Color mode option, which specifies the
output color space (CMYK, for example). If you change the Color mode setting, color management options are reset
to the server default settings.
