INTRODUCTION
This manual provides a reference for information about optimizing color printing with the Color Server and improving color quality and performance for all Color Server models. Specific features and options may vary, depending on the Color Server model at your site.
N OTE : The term "printer" is used throughout this manual to denote a supported printer or
copier; the term "toner" refers to either toner or ink.
About this manual
This manual provides an overview of general color concepts, with a specific focus on color management for print output. It describes multiple scenarios (called workflows) during which color information can be specified. It also provides application notes that explain how to print to the Color Server from popular Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS applications. Color terms and concepts, such as "color space," "spot color," "gamut," and "source profile" appear in bold throughout this manual. If you are new to desktop color, or if any terms are unfamiliar, see Glossary, which is a separate document in this set.

OVERVIEW
OF
COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS
To create successful color documents and presentations, you can take advantage of the features of color management software as they are implemented by the Color Server and on your desktop computer. This chapter is devoted to various elements of color management that contribute to predictable color results.
Understanding color management systems
A color management system (CMS) is a "translator" between the color space of the source device (for example, the monitor or a scanner) and the color space of the destination device (for example, the printer). It compares the color space in which the source image was created to the color space in which the job will be output, and adjusts the colors in the document to maintain consistency across different devices. A CMS typically uses a device-independent color space, such as CIELAB, as its intermediate color space. To perform its translation, a CMS needs information about the color space of the source image and the gamut of the printer. This information is provided through profiles, often created by the makers of the computer monitor or printer. The end product of a CMS conversion is a printed document or an image file in the gamut of a particular printer. There has been progress toward standardization in the field of digital color management systems. Both the Windows and Mac OS operating systems support an industry standard format developed by the International Color Consortium (ICC). This ICC format is implemented on Windows computers and on Mac OS computers. Other software developers are also incorporating color management systems into high-end applications. The Color Server color management system, ColorWise, supports this standard profile format.
OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

How color management works
Before you can print a color document, the color data in it must be converted to the gamut of the printer. Whether performed by the Color Server or a host-based CMS, the process of converting color data for a printer is the same: the CMS interprets RGB image data according to a specified source profile and adjusts both RGB and CMYK data according to a specified output profile, also called a destination profile by some color management systems.
Color management system
Source profile
Output profile Device-independent color space
Input data
Printed data or file
The source profile defines the RGB color space of the image's source: characteristics such as the white point, gamma, and the type of phosphors used. The output profile defines the gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The Color Server (or the host-based CMS) uses a device-independent color space to translate between the source color space and the color space of the output device. The Color Server allows you to specify default and override settings for the source color space information and the output profile information (see Color Printing). When you use these settings, there is no need to use the features of other color management systems. Your Color Server software includes ICC profiles for use with other color management systems, although conflicts may arise when the Color Server CMS is used in conjunction with a host CMS. You can also use color management systems to adjust color data to the gamut of an output device other than the one to which you are printing. This process of simulating another output device is commonly used for proofing jobs that are printed on an offset press. For more information about the Color Server simulation feature, see Color Printing. The type of print job and the final output device, Color Server or offset press, determines the workflow that provides the best results. For information about choosing workflows, see "Using Color Management Workflows" on page 13.
OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

Using ColorWise and application color management
The Color Server color management system, ColorWise is designed to provide both casual and expert users the best color output for a variety of purposes. Several applications also provide their own color management system. This manual describes how to optimize print output using both ColorWise color management and application color management. The Color Server can intelligently manage the printed appearance of RGB, CMYK, and spot colors. You can allow the Color Server to manage color for most color printing jobs without adjusting any settings. A desktop (host-based) color management system uses ICC profiles to convert colors from one device gamut to another (see "Desktop Color Primer" on page 73). The color data is converted when it passes from one application to another or when the job is sent to the printer; thus, the processing occurs on your computer, as opposed to the Color Server. Conventional color management systems typically address only color conversions, and they occupy your computer processor. When you use ColorWise, jobs leave your computer and are processed faster on the Color Server. The advantages to ColorWise color management versus desktop (application) color management include the following: · Relieving your computer from performing additional processing. Delaying color conversions until the color data reaches the Color Server frees your computer so that you can continue working, and color conversions on the Color Server are, in most cases, much faster than similar conversions on a host computer. · Eliminating the potential for undesirable color management-related conflicts, such as iterative color conversions and inconsistent color. The Color Server applies global corrections to specific groups of RGB, CMYK, and spot colors to avoid such conflicts. · Accepting RGB files in addition to larger CMYK files from applications, which minimizes network traffic and enables jobs to print faster. ColorWise uses ICC profiles to convert colors to the device gamut or simulate other devices, such as an offset printing press. ColorWise manages color conversions for all users printing to the Color Server from Windows and Mac OS computers. It allows users to follow a simple workflow with minimal intervention using robust default settings, while giving advanced users the control and precision they need.
OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

Using ColorWise color management tools
Your Color Server user software includes several types of color reference pages that allow you to see the range of colors that can be printed on your printer. For predictable color, use the color reference pages when defining the colors in your document. The resources available are as follows:
RGB Color Reference: A Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file that allow you
to view the colors available in the standard palettes of office applications and to see how those colors print on the Color Server (see "Using color matching tools with office applications" on page 21).
CMYK Color Reference: An 11-page downloadable PostScript file of CMYK color patches (see
"Using the CMYK Color Reference" on page 25).
Process Simulation of PANTONE Solid Coated Colors: A 19-page downloadable PostScript file of color patches showing CMYK equivalents of PANTONE Coated colors. This file prints differently depending on the setting of the Spot Color Matching option (see "Using the PANTONE reference" on page 26).
In addition, you can print RGB, CMY, and PANTONE color charts from the Color Server.
USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS
13
USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS
A workflow is the path a print job follows from creation to destination. In the workflow of any job, there are various points at which decisions are made about how to define, use, and translate color. The choices made, and the point at which they are made, impact the color output produced. This chapter introduces issues with color management in specific desktop applications and discusses the interaction between those applications and ColorWise color management.
Understanding workflows
The term "workflow" is used to describe the path a job follows from its creation in a desktop application to final printed output. The Color Server supports a variety of workflows with different levels of complexity. There are several points at which color management can be performed on a job (see the illustration on page 14). The information provided at each step (for example, the type of color used) impacts the workflow of the job. Always consider the complexity of the workflow. Every time colors are converted, performance and color accuracy are affected. A workflow with a minimum number of steps minimizes the risk of error.

Standard recommended workflow
The Color Server is highly optimized for the specific printer it supports. ColorWise addresses issues unique to your printer, including screens, individual toner response, interactions among toners, natural smoothness of blends, and the capability to render spot and custom colors. The Color Server distinguishes text and graphics from image elements, so that black channel information is preserved while parameters used for CMYK color separations are maintained. The recommended standard color workflow uses ColorWise calibration and color management. The Color Server comes into play near the end of the color workflow. For this workflow: · Bypass any color management in the applications and printer drivers. This ensures that the colors you selected reach the Color Server and ColorWise in a usable form. Consider, however, that ColorWise fully supports color management from applications and printer drivers (see "Using ColorWise and application color management" on page 11). · Set the CMYK Simulation Profile option in ColorWise to match the CMYK color space used in the application to select the colors. Any CMYK Simulation setting (except Match Copy, if available) applies calibration, so the response of the printer appears stable. The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are SWOP in the U.S., Euroscale in Europe, and DIC in Japan--choices that reflect the color standard for each region. If colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated Color Server, set CMYK Simulation to None. · Set other ColorWise print options as appropriate. For a list and descriptions of ColorWise print options that affect CMYK, RGB, spot, and other colors, see Color Printing.

Choosing colors
When working with color materials, whether they are presentations, illustrations, or complicated page designs, you make aesthetic decisions about the colors you use. After you set a goal, you must make the best use of the capabilities of your Color Server to realize your design in print. Your color printing system becomes an ally in this creative process to the extent that results are predictable: · If you designed a poster to print on the Color Server, you want the printed colors to match the design specification. · If you are printing presentations on the Color Server, you want to preserve the vivid colors you see on your monitor. · If you are working with color that is to be printed on an offset press, you want the Color Server output to match other prepress proofs or PANTONE color swatch books. The colors that you define when creating a file in an application, and the color management tools within the application that you use, impact how the file is processed (workflow) and the final output you can expect. Use color management to control color output by performing the following tasks: · Select a color model: Different types of applications use different color models. The color model you select, and whether or when data is converted from one color model to another, influences the final color output. · Optimize for output type: The type of final output influences your color and application choices. · Use color matching tools: The Color Server provides several tools to preview colors available on a device and define them within an application.
USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS
17
Understanding color models
You can define colors in several different color models, most commonly RGB, CMYK, and the spot color matching system (such as PANTONE). Depending on the application you use, you may or may not have a choice of the color model. RGB colors are used when you take output from an RGB device such as a digital camera or a scanner. Another use of the RGB color model is for displaying colors on a monitor. CMYK colors are what most printers use. Spot colors, such as PANTONE, are special inks manufactured to run on an offset printing press. Spot colors can be simulated using CMYK toners (also known as process color inks). With the Spot Color Matching print option, you can determine how spot colors are printed at the Color Server: · Spot Color Matching On uses color tables built in the Color Server to simulate the spot color with the closest equivalent available using the CMYK toners of the copier/printer connected to the Color Server. · Spot Color Matching Off instructs the Color Server to simulate the spot color using CMYK equivalents defined by the spot color manufacturer. These are the same CMYK values used by applications that include spot color libraries. This CMYK combination is then printed with the CMYK Simulation setting you choose, such as SWOP or DIC. The color model used by your application determines the methods available for choosing colors, as well as the way color data is transmitted to the Color Server: · Office applications, such as presentation software, spreadsheets, and word processing programs, use the RGB color model. They typically transmit only RGB data to the Color Server. · Illustration applications use both the RGB and CMYK color models, but typically transmit only CMYK data to the Color Server. · Pixel-editing applications use both the RGB and CMYK color models. They can transmit either RGB or CMYK data to the Color Server.
USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS

Optimizing for output type
You can use the Color Server for on-demand color printing and for color proofing. On-demand color printing refers to those jobs for which the Color Server is the final print device. Printing jobs to the Color Server in preparation for printing on an offset press is referred to as color proofing. Both types of Color Server print jobs can use RGB, CMYK, and spot colors.
Characteristics of on-demand jobs Bright, saturated colors are often desirable. Characteristics of offset proofs Require the printed colors to match those from another set of CMYK printing conditions. Colors that are specified for an offset press require CMYK simulation that is optimized for proofing on the printer.
Colors are achieved using the full range of colors available, referred to as the full gamut of the printer or, more simply, device CMYK.
NOTE: The term "on-demand" applies to producing printed output when it is needed. You
may be familiar with the term "short-run", which usually applies to the volume of a printing task. Although these terms do not mean exactly the same thing, "on-demand" in this manual applies also to short-run printing scenarios. Because you can print as many pages as you need and can reprint jobs quickly, the Color Server performs equally well in either environment. The type of printing you plan for the document, on-demand color printing on the Color Server versus color proofing for eventual printing on an offset press, determines the way you define colors, as well as the print option settings you choose. · For on-demand color printing on the Color Server, use any application and define colors in either RGB or CMYK. If your application supports it, you can also choose colors from the PANTONE color library. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting color output (for descriptions of the print options, see Color Printing). · For color proofing, use a PostScript-defined color in CMYK or choose colors from color libraries, such as the PANTONE color library. Placed images can also be defined in RGB or CMYK. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting color output (see Color Printing).
NOTE: The Color Server allows you to use RGB or CMYK data when printing proofs for
an offset press run. However, sending data to an imagesetter usually requires CMYK data.

Maintaining color accuracy
For the colors you see on your monitor to match those on your printed output, they must go through color management, including precise calibration of your monitor and Color Server. If viewing colors on the monitor is critical, consider using a professional profiling software package and instrument, such as the EFI Color Profiler, to create a monitor profile. A monitor profile enables the application to compensate for the color behavior of the monitor when displaying images. As a result, colors previewed on the monitor match the colors more closely in your printed output. If you are not equipped or inclined to maintain accurate monitor color management, you can opt for an easier approach. Determine which is more important to you: printed colors or on-screen colors. · If displayed colors are more important, trust your eyes and your monitor. Visually select colors on your monitor, but be aware that colors are optimized only for your monitor. When the document is opened on other monitors, the colors may look different. And even though printed colors may not match those on your monitor, they still print to the Color Server with good results. · If printed colors are your priority, choose colors from printed samples. By using sample colors, you ensure your printed output remains consistent, regardless of how the colors appear on different monitors. Print the palette of available colors from business applications and select colors from the printed samples. Color reference files are included on the User Software CD. (For more information, see"Using color matching tools with office applications" on page 21 and "Using color matching tools with PostScript applications" on page 25.) You can also print color charts from the Color Server and select colors by name or number from the printed samples. Advanced applications allow you to define colors in the easier-to-control spot and CMYK color spaces. For more information about color selection, see "Choosing colors" on page 16.
MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS

MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS
The ColorWise color management system provides complete color management for jobs printed from office applications and other applications that do not generate PostScript. This chapter provides instructions for printing color documents from Graphics Device Interface (GDI) and QuickDraw applications, such as presentation, spreadsheet, and word processing applications. Use these instructions with the Microsoft Office applications.
Using office applications
The Color Server must receive PostScript instructions to print an image or a document. Many applications do not create these PostScript instructions, relying on the printer driver to create them. Included in this category are most word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation graphics applications. These applications use Windows GDI to display and print when running Windows, and Apple QuickDraw to display and print when running Mac OS. The term "office applications" is used in this manual to refer to these GDI and QuickDraw applications. All office applications handle color similarly, using the same RGB color model used for the color monitor. Most office applications allow you to choose colors from a palette of preselected colors. Some allow you to add new colors to the palette using a color picker. Although some applications allow you to specify color using the CMY, HSL, and HSV color models, these applications always send RGB color data to the Color Server. (An exception to this is a CMYK EPS file placed in the document, which is sent as CMYK data.) When working with color in office applications, consider the following: · The range of colors that can be displayed in RGB on your monitor is much larger than the range of colors that can be printed on your printer. When you print the document, out-of-gamut RGB colors are mapped to the colors your printer can produce. · Office applications send only RGB data to the Color Server. You control the rendering style of the color conversion with your selection of a CRD. Each CRD uses a different color rendering style and has a different way of mapping unprintable colors to the color gamut of your printer. For more information about color rendering styles, see Color Printing.
MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS
21
Using color matching tools with office applications
Your Color Server user software includes two RGB color reference pages, a Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file. You can print these files using different CRDs to see how the colors appear when printed to the Color Server. For best results, print the color reference page using the same print options you plan to use for your final document. Select the colors you want to use from the printed version of the RGB color reference page and use those colors in your document.

MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS
22
Working with office applications
Before printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate printer driver and the Color Server PPD are installed on your computer, as described in Printing from Windows or Printing from Mac OS.
Defining colors
Office applications use the RGB color model. The only way to use CMYK or PANTONE colors is to define them in EPS format files with an illustration or page layout application, and then place these files in Microsoft Office documents. Colors in EPS files are preserved until they reach the Color Server (assuming no PostScript Color Management information was included). Office applications use low resolution to display EPS files, but the EPS images are printed at full resolution. In general, use EPS files only when RGB colors are impractical in your specific workflow. EPS files are useful when using large or complex images that must be printed at full resolution or exceed the memory allocation of some office applications.
Working with imported files
Your application may allow you to import a variety of file formats. If you encounter printing problems when using other imported file formats, such as TIFF and PICT, EPS files are recommended.
NOTE: If you cannot import EPS elements, it may be necessary to perform a "custom install"
of your office applications. Even when there are no user-defined color management options within office applications, color conversions do occur when you import images or page elements that were not defined in RGB. To avoid such conversions with imported files, use the EPS file format for non-RGB artwork that is to be imported into office applications. All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the settings you choose for the RGB Source and Rendering Style print options. Mixing imported image types (Advanced color management) If you place multiple RGB images, mixed non-photographic and photographic, into an office application file, a single CRD may not optimize output for all the images. In this case, you can have the photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this, open the photographic image in CMYK mode with a pixel-editing application, such as Photoshop, and perform color correction. Save the image as a Photoshop EPS and import it into the document.
MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS
23
Selecting options when printing
There are few differences among office applications with regard to Color Server printing. To specify print options and color management settings, follow the instructions in Color Printing. To specify these options, you must use a PostScript Level 2 (or later) printer driver, such as an Adobe PostScript Printer Driver. Because office applications send RGB data to the Color Server, your choice of RGB Source and Rendering Style settings are important. Specify the appropriate CRD for the desired color effect (see Color Printing).
Output profiles
All color data in the job is affected by the output profile on the Color Server. This profile may be the one designed for your device and shipped with the Color Server, or it may be a custom profile created at your site (see Color Printing). If necessary, print the Test Page to see which profile is the active default on the Color Server.
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 Color Server 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 Color Printing).
MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS
24
MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS
This chapter provides guidelines for using applications that have the ability to write their own PostScript, such as some page layout, illustration, and pixel-editing applications. For information about using specific applications, see "Managing Color in Adobe Photoshop" on page 33, "Managing Color in Page Layout Applications" on page 44, or "Managing Color in Illustration Applications" on page 59.
Working with PostScript applications
Most applications used for illustration, pixel editing, and page layout can create the PostScript information they send to a PostScript printer or save in PostScript files. Illustrator, Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia FreeHand are all PostScript applications. PostScript applications work with color in many different ways. Most allow you to choose process colors (by entering percentages for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), as well as named colors from a spot color system, such as PANTONE. When you print composites, these applications send process-color equivalents for named spot colors to the Color Server. In some applications, you can also choose colors using the RGB, HSB, HSL, or other color models. Generally, PostScript applications send color information to the Color Server as CMYK data. An exception to this is an RGB image placed in a document, which is sent directly to the Color Server (unless you specify special color management settings in the application). In addition, some PostScript applications that allow you to define colors in RGB or other color models also send data to the Color Server in those color spaces. Color controls in PostScript applications are typically designed for printing on an offset press, and some adjustments are required for printing to the Color Server. Displayed versions of colors you choose in these applications may not match Color Server output exactly, and named colors may not print accurately on the Color Server, since these colors typically require custom inks.
MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS
25
Using color matching tools with PostScript applications
With PostScript applications, you can work with colors created with any of the color models supported by the application. All PostScript applications support CMYK. Some also support RGB and other color models based on monitor display values. PostScript applications also allow you to choose named colors using one or more color libraries, such as PANTONE (see page 26).
Using swatch color matching tools
Your Color Server user software includes several color reference pages (see page 12). By choosing colors from these reference pages, you ensure that you print the same color from your device. For best results, calibrate the Color Server before printing the reference pages.
NOTE: We highly recommend that you use swatch color matching to ensure predictable color
printing results with the Color Server or match your Color Server output to colors produced by other printers.
NOTE: Swatch color matching does not match monitor colors to printed colors. For this, you
must use a color management system and calibrate your monitor.
Using the CMYK Color Reference
Use the CMYK Color Reference included with your Color Server user software to see how various cyan, magenta, yellow, and black combinations look when printed on your printer.
To print the CMYK Color Reference, download the file to the Color Server. The printed pages display groups of color patches in graduated combinations of yellow, magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75% black. Refer to these pages to pick colors and specify process color values in your application. For the location of the file on the User Software CD, see Printing from Windows or Printing from Mac OS.
MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS
26
Using the PANTONE reference
Use this reference (Process Simulation of PANTONE Solid Coated Colors) included with your Color Server user software to help ensure predictable results with colors chosen from the PANTONE color library. The information printed by this reference depends on the Spot Color Matching setting.
Spot Color Matching On prints swatches that simulate the spot color with the closest equivalent available using the CMYK toners of the copier/printer connected to the Color Server. The equivalent PANTONE color name/number is printed below each swatch. Spot Color Matching Off prints swatches of the CMYK equivalents of PANTONE colors as
defined by PANTONE. (These are the same CMYK values defined in applications that include PANTONE libraries.) The CMYK values used to produce the color, as well as the PANTONE color name/number, are printed below each swatch. To print the reference, download the file to the Color Server. For the location of the file on the User Software CD, see Printing from Windows or Printing from Mac OS. If the default Spot Color Matching setting on the Color Server is not the setting you want to use for printing the PANTONE colors, download the file to the Hold queue, and then override the Spot Color Matching setting using a job management utility, such as Command WorkStation. For more information about using Command WorkStation, see the Command WorkStation Help.

The methods and options available for defining colors depend on the type of PostScript application that you are using.
Color model CYMK Application type Photoshop Page layout application Color definition notes Choose colors in Photoshop with various color models, including HSB, CIE Lab, RGB, and CMYK. Page layout applications generally use the CMYK color model. Some allow you to define colors with other color models and may be able to send that data to the Color Server in those other color models. Generally, however, CRDs (which affect only RGB data) do not affect colors defined in page layout applications. For predictable results with CMYK colors, use the CMYK Color Reference when defining colors in page layout applications (see "Using color matching tools with PostScript applications" on page 25). Illustration application All illustration applications use the CMYK color model. Although you may be allowed to define colors using other color models, these applications generally send only CMYK data to the Color Server. For predictable results with CMYK colors, use the CMYK Color Reference pages when defining colors (see "Using color matching tools with PostScript applications" on page 25). Different versions of Illustrator support color models slightly differently (see "Note about color models in Adobe Illustrator" on page 60).

Color model RGB
Application type Photoshop Page layout application
Color definition notes Choose colors in Photoshop with various color models, including HSB, CIE Lab, RGB, and CMYK. If the application allows you to define colors in RGB, determine whether it converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the Color Server. If it does, this will determine which ColorWise print options affect your job. For example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in the document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it sends the job to the Color Server, the option you select for the Pure Black Text/Graphics print option has no effect when you print the job.
Illustration application
If you define colors in RGB and print directly from the application, the application converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the Color Server. This conversion by the application determines which ColorWise print options affect your job. For example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in the document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it sends the job to the Color Server, the option you select for the Pure Black Text/Graphics print option has no effect when you print the job.

Working with imported images
You can import images into documents created in illustration applications (such as Illustrator) and page layout applications (such as QuarkXPress). The recommended formats for images imported into page layout documents are EPS (or EPSF) and TIFF. If you encounter a problem using a TIFF format image, use the EPS file format. Support for importing other file formats may be provided by individual applications. All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the RGB Source and Rendering Style settings. The ColorWise color management system applies the specified RGB Source setting to all RGB data and then uses the specified Rendering Style (CRD) to perform a color conversion. An exception to this occurs if you assign ICC profiles to RGB images using the application's color management tools (see the following section). In this case, the application performs the color conversion of the image and sends CMYK data to the Color Server.
NOTE: To take advantage of RGB Source and Rendering Style settings for images imported
into QuarkXPress, save images in the EPS format or use the Quark PrintRGB XTension, which outputs RGB TIFF image files without converting them to CMYK. Mixing image types (Advanced color management) If you place multiple RGB images, mixed non-photographic and photographic, into a file, a single CRD may not optimize output for all the images. In this case, you can have the photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this, separate the image to CMYK data with a pixel-editing application, such as Photoshop, and perform color correction. Save the file as EPS or TIFF format and import it into the document. If your application supports this feature, you can save the RGB image in TIFF format and assign it an ICC profile and rendering intent when you import it into the document.

Using CMYK simulations
You can specify a CMYK Simulation profile and a CMYK simulation method for a job using the CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method print options (see Color Printing). The CMYK Simulation setting affects all CMYK color data sent by the page layout or illustration application. It can also affect RGB data sent to a page layout application if RGB Separation is set to Simulation. · If the document contains CMYK graphics that were separated for an offset press standard, apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For example, for graphics separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation setting. If you print separations to the Color Server and choose to use the Combine Separations feature in conjunction with Full Simulation, the result may not match that of the same page printed as composite. · If the document contains CMYK graphics that were separated according to the color characteristics of a custom ICC profile (not a press standard profile), specify the corresponding profile as the CMYK Simulation Profile setting on the Color Server. For more information on downloading CMYK Simulation profiles to the Color Server with ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing.

31
Using application-defined halftone screens
If your site has installed the Fiery Graphic Arts Package (not available for all Color Server models), you can define halftone screens from several PostScript applications and use them when printing. The results vary depending on the application. To define a halftone screen, use the application to adjust the Frequency and Angle values of the halftone screen. For applications that use the Color Server default (InDesign, FreeHand, QuarkXPress, and Illustrator 10), the ink dots are round. For applications that define their own shape and do not use the Color Server default (PageMaker, Photoshop, and Illustrator 9),the halftone dots may be a different shape. When you print the job, choose Application Defined for the Halftone Screen print option. The Frequency and Angle settings in the Application Defined halftone screen are used regardless of whether the setting for Combine Separations is set to On or Off. For special instructions for printing separations with Photoshop, see "Selecting options when printing" on page 39.
NOTE: In general, using halftone screens is not recommended because the print output will
have visible dots of toner rather than smooth blends. Use halftone screens only when necessary to achieve a specific style of print output.

Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file
To ensure color accuracy, take the following steps: · 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 Color Server 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 Color Printing).

MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
This chapter covers features of Adobe Photoshop versions 6.x and 7.x for Windows and Mac OS. The illustrations show Mac OS dialog boxes, but the information and instructions apply equally to the Windows version of Photoshop. Because Photoshop uses a sophisticated color management system, you should perform some color management tasks before you use Photoshop.
Loading monitor settings files and ICC device profiles in Photoshop 6.x/7.x
After you have installed the Efirgb.icc monitor settings file and the ICC device profile for the Color Server, they can be loaded at the same time in Photoshop 6.x/7.x. TO LOAD THE MONITOR SETTINGS FILE AND ICC DEVICE PROFILE IN PHOTOSHOP 6.X/7.X
1 Start Photoshop. 2 Choose Color Settings from the Edit menu and select Advanced Mode in the Color Settings dialog box. 3 Choose EFI RGB from the RGB menu. 4 Choose the profile that corresponds to the Color Server from the CMYK menu.
The Color Server ICC profile is provided as the factory default. Additionally, the Color Server ICC profile is provided on the User Software CD. This is designed for more faithful reproduction of RGB objects using black toner only when R, G, and B have the same ratio. The profile is suitable for business documents that include black-and-white tables and text. It will have no effect on documents that have color gradation patterns (patterns which include black) or color photographic images.
5 Click OK.

Specifying color settings
The following sections outline the recommended color settings for Photoshop in a Color Server workflow. These color settings include:
Working Spaces: Default color spaces to use when working with RGB and CMYK
documents. ICC color profiles describe the gamut and color characteristics of these working spaces.
Color Management Policies: Instructions that tell Photoshop what to do when it encounters
color data from a color space other than the specified working space.
Configuring Photoshop color settings
Photoshop uses a sophisticated color management system that handles document colors for a variety of color-managed workflows. By customizing color settings, you specify the amount of color management you want to use while working in Photoshop. TO SPECIFY COLOR SETTINGS FOR PHOTOSHOP
1 Choose Color Settings from the Edit menu.
The Color Settings dialog box appears.
2 Select Advanced Mode.
In Advanced Mode, a more extensive list of options is displayed.
MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
35
3 Choose the desired working space profile for each color mode in the Working Spaces area.
A working space specifies the color profile for documents that have no color profile associations or for documents that are newly created. It also defines color space of a document converted to RGB, CMYK, or Grayscale color modes, and for spot colors in a document. Choose an appropriate ICC profile to embed when saving a file for each color space. Use the following guidelines for specifying working spaces: · For RGB, choose the profile for the default RGB color space used by the Color Server. In most cases, this is EFIRGB. (For information about installing the EFIRGB profile, see "Loading monitor settings files and ICC device profiles in Photoshop 6.x/7.x" on page 33.) Consider RGB if you usually view images on a generic computer monitor or rely on a Windows operating system to manage color on your monitor. If you choose sRGB as a working space, you must print with the ColorWise RGB Source option set to sRGB. New RGB documents you create in Photoshop will use this working space.
NOTE: EFIRGB is set as the default RGB source color space on the Color Server. No matter
what RGB space you select, make sure it is available on the Color Server. For more information about downloading RGB Source profiles to the Color Server, see Color Printing. · For CMYK, choose a profile that describes your target press (such as SWOP) if you are a prepress user. If you are an user who prints final output, choose an output profile that describes the device connected to the Color Server. To use a device-specific output profile, you must first upload the profile from the Color Server to your computer (see Color Printing). New CMYK documents you create in Photoshop will use the specified working space. · For guidelines on specifying Gray and Spot working spaces, see your Photoshop documentation.
4 In the Color Management Policies area, choose policies for handling documents without embedded profiles or with embedded profiles that differ from the working space.
Unless you are an advanced color user, choose Off from the RGB, CMYK, and Gray menus. If you specify a color management policy and open a document in an environment with a different working space than the one in which it was created, you may encounter problems. The profile embedded in a document may be overwritten if it differs from the specified working space (although the numeric color values in the document are preserved).

5 If you do not choose Off for the Color Management Policies, select the following:
Profile Mismatches: Ask When Opening, Ask When Pasting Missing Profiles: Ask When Opening.
This option displays an alert message that allows you to override the specified policy behavior (Off ) when opening documents or importing color data. This is recommended so that you are notified before any application color management is applied.
6 In the Conversion Options area, specify settings for converting between color spaces.
Choose Adobe (ACE) from the Engine menu to use the built-in color management engine for Photoshop. Choose a rendering intent from the Intent menu that optimizes the color quality of the conversion. For guidelines on choosing the rendering intent, see your Photoshop documentation. Select Use Black Point Compensation and Use Dither (8-bit/channel images) to optimize the quality of color conversions.
7 Clear the Desaturate Monitor Colors By and Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma options in the Advanced Controls area.
Clearing these options helps to ensure a match between your monitor display and the printed output.
8 Click Save to save the current group of color settings.
The Save dialog box appears.
9 Name the settings file, accept the default saved location, and click Save.
You can switch to your saved settings at any time by choosing the group name from the Settings menu at the top of the Color Settings dialog box.

Saving files from Photoshop
Before saving a file from Photoshop, perform any necessary rotating, cropping, and resizing. This speeds processing when printing from the application in which the image is placed. When saving a document from Photoshop 6.x, you have the option to embed a color profile in the document. If you are sending the document to the Color Server, we recommend that you disable this option.
Choosing a file format
We recommend that you use EPS or TIFF file formats to save RGB images that will be imported into other documents and printed to the Color Server. You can import EPS and TIFF files into virtually all page layout applications.
NOTE: Although TIFF files generally display better when imported into other applications,
their color and resolution characteristics may be altered by the application into which they are imported. EPS files are not modified by the application into which they are imported.
NOTE: In the following procedures, only Photoshop 7.x (Mac OS version) dialog boxes are
shown. When applicable, differences between versions 7.x and 6.x, and the Windows and Mac OS versions of Photoshop are noted. TO SAVE A DOCUMENT FROM PHOTOSHOP
1 Choose Save As from the File menu.
The Save As dialog box appears.
2 Specify settings in the Save As dialog box.
· Specify a name, file format, and location for the document. · Clear the Embed Color Profile option (Mac OS) or ICC Profile option (Windows).

3 Click Save.
If you chose Photoshop EPS as the format, the EPS Options dialog box appears.
4 Specify EPS options and click OK.
· Choose a TIFF preview option. A TIFF preview is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS computers. · Do not select the PostScript Color Management option. For more information about PostScript Color Management, see the following section. · Do not select Include Transfer Function or Include Halftone Screen.
NOTE: If you choose JPEG encoding, save a backup of the original image saved with binary
encoding until you see the printed results of the JPEG file. Occasionally, the compression used for JPEG encoding produces unwanted artifacts. If you see unexpected results in the printed output of a JPEG file, revert to a binary version. If you experience problems printing the document in which you placed the image, substitute an ASCII version of the same image and reprint the document. Binary encoding is much more compact than ASCII encoding, but occasionally causes printing problems with some system configurations.

Advanced tips for using PostScript color management
Use the following information to implement alternative, more complex, color workflows with Photoshop.
NOTE: To use PostScript color management with Photoshop 6.x, choose PostScript Color
Management from the Profile menu in the Photoshop pane of the printer driver. Saving EPS documents with PostScript Color Management Selecting the PostScript Color Management option when saving either a CMYK or RGB EPS file prompts Photoshop to embed PostScript color information--which is independent of ICC profiles--in the resulting document. This information is intended for PostScript devices like the Color Server. Printing RGB EPS files saved with PostScript Color Management When you print an RGB EPS file that contains an embedded profile to the Color Server, you can use the working space information from the embedded RGB profile as an RGB source definition for Color Server CRDs. To use this source color space information from the embedded profile with Color Server CRDs, choose None as the ColorWise RGB Source when you print. This applies when you print directly from Photoshop or when the same RGB EPS file is output from another application. To override the embedded profile in an EPS file using an RGB Source definition made available by the Color Server, choose anything except None as the Color Server RGB Source Profile.
MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
42
Printing RGB images with Photoshop PostScript Color Management If you select an RGB color space and decide to use PostScript Color Management, Photoshop sends RGB data to the Color Server along with PostScript color information defining this RGB color space. When you select PostScript Color Management, a CRD is used to perform color conversions to CMYK.
NOTE: The included RGB source color space information is overridden by the ColorWise
RGB Source option unless it is set to None. The ColorWise Rendering Style option specified takes effect if the ColorWise RGB Source Profile option is set to None. For fastest print times, choose JPEG encoding, but inspect printed output carefully for unwanted artifacts that may appear as a result of JPEG compression. If you see unexpected results in the printed output, reprint the job using Binary or ASCII encoding. Printing CMYK EPS files saved with PostScript Color Management If you select the Photoshop PostScript Color Management option when you save a CMYK EPS image, Photoshop embeds PostScript color information that defines the CMYK source color space of the image. When you print a CMYK EPS file that contains PostScript color information to the Color Server, CRDs are used instead of ColorWise CMYK Simulation and Simulation Method settings. Choose the appropriate setting for the Rendering Style option.
MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
43
Printing CMYK graphics with Photoshop PostScript Color Management If you select a CMYK color space and decide to use PostScript Color Management, Photoshop sends CMYK data to the Color Server along with PostScript color information defining this CMYK color space. When you select PostScript Color Management, a CRD is used to perform color conversions to the CMYK color space of the Color Server. The destination color space for the CRDs is determined by the RGB Separation print option. If RGB Separation is set to Simulation, the CMYK graphic is printed according to all specified CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method settings. If RGB Separation is set to Output, the CMYK graphic is converted to the CMYK color space of the selected output profile. Setting the Color Server print option Spot Color Matching to On has an effect only if you use the Photoshop Multi-Channel feature to define spot channels and then save the image in EPS format and open it in another application. For more information see your Photoshop documentation. Photoshop converts spot colors to CMYK values when you work in CMYK mode. · If the graphic was separated for an offset press standard, apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For example, if the graphic is separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation setting. · If Photoshop is configured for a custom separation using a ICC profile, choose the corresponding profile for the ColorWise CMYK Simulation option. The previous custom simulation setting requires that the same profile used for separation in Photoshop also resides on the Color Server. For more information about downloading CMYK Simulation profiles to the Color Server with ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing.
