Output profile
The Output profile print option specifies the output profile used to process a job. Color data in a print job is
converted to the color space of the printer, which is described by the output profile.
In addition, the calibration that is associated with the output profile is applied to the job before printing.
The Fiery ES includes one or more default output profiles, each created for a specific media type. You can also
import your own output profiles to the Fiery ES.
Use job defined settings
Rather than select a specific output profile for your job, you can let the Fiery ES determine the output profile
automatically. The color mode and media type used in the print job determine the profile, or if the job uses media
from Paper Catalog, the output profile specified in Paper Catalog is used.
Note: Because only one output profile is supported for the Fiery ES, all available media are tied to the one available
profile. The Use job defined settings option is not available.
Device link profiles
If a CMYK-to-CMYK or RGB-to-CMYK device link profile is available for the specified output profile and source
profile, Device link profile selected is displayed below the Output profile drop-down list box. When a device link
profile has been selected, the specific device link profile name is displayed below the Source profile drop-down list
box. The other source settings in the area are disabled as they are not applicable in the device link profile workflow.
In this case, the selected output profile is not used for color management, since the device link profile is used.
Print RGB/CMYK using gray only
When the Print RGB gray using black only option is turned on, any RGB color that has equal R, G, and B values is
printed as K-only black instead of CMYK black. Similarly, when Print CMYK gray using black only is turned on, any
CMYK color where C, M, and Y are 0 (zero), and K is any value is printed as K-only black instead of CMYK black.
You can turn on Print RGB gray using black only or Print CMYK gray using black only for either Text/Graphics or
Text/Graphics/Images. "Graphics" refers to vector graphics. "Images" refers to bitmap images.
Note: You can also turn on Print gray using black only for the Grayscale source profile, with the same options of
Text/Graphics and Text/Graphics/Images.
The following limitations apply:
•
The Print RGB gray using black only and Print CMYK gray using black only options have no effect on a job that is
sent as separations.
•
If CMYK rendering intent is set to Pure Primaries, Print CMYK gray using black only does not affect the output.
•
If Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK source is turned on, Print RGB gray using black only is turned off. Likewise, if Print
RGB gray using black only is turned on, you cannot turn on Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK source.
•
If Black Text and Graphics is set to Pure Black On or Rich Black On, it takes precedence over Print RGB gray using
black only and Print CMYK gray using black only for 100% black text and graphics.
•
If a gray is specified as a spot color, Print RGB gray using black only and Print CMYK gray using black only do not
affect that gray.
