servers are able to respect source profiles embedded in a document. The checkbox “Use embedded profile when present” specifies
whether embedded color profiles should be used or ignored when present for RGB and CMYK sources.
Fiery Expert Color settings for use with PDF/X Output Intent and/or embedded source profiles
Benefits
Fiery servers give users the flexibility to handle a variety of input color spaces based on embedded ICC source profiles.
Support for PDF/X rendering Intent ensures consistent reproduction of color on a variety of output devices.
Composite Overprint for Spot Colors and CMYK
When an object of one color is placed on top of an object of another color in a page layout or drawing application, it can be imaged directly
on top (overprinting) or a “knock-out” can be created in the underlying object (erasing that section of the underlying object).
Before overprint was supported in composite data, designers needed to print native documents as separations. In such a workflow, the
native application calculated the overprints and generated color separations, creating large PostScript data streams of network-intensive,
color-managed file transfers before the Fiery server could print them. This is not an optimal workflow for processing color and doesn’t
provide adequate support of new design features such as transparency. This process produced unsatisfactory print results, was
inconvenient and the submission of a composite file took four times longer.
