RGB Source Profile
The RGB source profile setting allows you to define the characteristics of the RGB data
in your document so the appropriate color conversion can occur on the Fiery.
Commonly used monitor color spaces are available from the printer driver and from
the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager. For special needs, use ColorWise Pro Tools
to download custom monitor or scanner profiles.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile, the Fiery
overrides source color space definitions or profiles that other color management
systems may have specified. For example, if you specified a ColorSync System Profile
on your Mac OS computer, the RGB Source Profile setting overrides it. In cases where
you do not want this setting to override another specified source color space, choose
the None setting.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile—since the
color space definitions are overridden—the output from the Fiery is consistent across
platforms. The Fiery RGB Source Profile options are:
•
EFIRGB specifies an EFI-defined color space recommended for users who have no
detailed information about their RGB data.
•
sRGB (PC) specifies the industry standard definition for a generic Windows
computer monitor.
•
Apple Standard specifies the definition of all standard Mac OS computer monitors.
•
Other allows you to specify custom RGB source settings. If you choose Other as the
RGB Source Profile setting, you must choose settings for the Gamma, Phosphors,
and White Point options.
•
Sources 1-10 specify the definitions you download as RGB source profiles. For more
information about downloading RGB source profiles, see page 3-58.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver from a Windows computer and have
Two-Way Communication enabled, the name of each downloaded profile is
represented in the RGB Source Profile setting menu. If you are printing with the
AdobePS driver from a Mac OS computer, downloaded profiles appear as Source-1
through Source-10. For more information on Two-Way Communication, see
Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation Guide.
