3-26 Managing Color in Office Applications
Color Reference Guide for C9800 - 26
Because office applications send RGB data to the Fiery, your choice of RGB Source
and Rendering Style settings are important. Specify the appropriate CRD for the
desired color effect (see the Color Guide Chapter 1).
Output profiles
All color data in the job is affected by the output profile on the Fiery. This profile may
be the one designed for your device and shipped with the Fiery, or it may be a custom
profile created at your site (see the Color Guide Chapter 1). If necessary, print the Test
Page to see which profile is the active default on the Fiery.
Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file
Take the following steps to ensure color accuracy:
• When saving EPS files, do not include PostScript Color Management information.
This minimizes the risk of conflicting data and multiple color conversions.
PostScript Color Management causes your CMYK and RGB colors to be interpreted
by the Fiery as though they were supplied in the Lab color space and, as a result,
processed by CRDs, rather than your simulation settings.
• Include ICC color information in files. ColorWise does not conflict with this
information, and such data is useful for identifying the specific color space used by
your files.
• Do not include halftone and transfer functions.
• Turn off color management in the printer driver.
On Windows computers, if the printer driver offers Image Color Matching options,
select Printer Image Color Matching.
On Mac OS computers, set the printer driver to include no color management
commands at print time (see the Color Guide Chapter 1).
