9-2 Illustration Applications
You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE color library. See
“PANTONE Coated Color Reference” on page 5-6.
Importing images
In general, all images placed into illustration application documents should
be in EPS format.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the RGB Source and
Rendering Style settings in the PPD. The iR C2100/2100S 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 to CMYK. An exception to this occurs if you assign ICC profiles
to RGB images using the application’s color management tools (see “Tips for
advanced users” below). In this case, the application performs the color
conversion of the image and sends CMYK data to the iR C2100/2100S.
Tips for advanced users
If you place multiple RGB images, some non-photographic and some
photographic, a single CRD may not be suitable for all the images. In this
case you may want 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 on it. Then save
it as an EPS or TIFF file and import it into the document. Or 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 (see the individual application
notes in this chapter).
CMYK simulation
You can specify a press simulation target and a press simulation method for
the job with print options (see Chapter 1). The CMYK Simulation setting
affects all CMYK color data sent by the illustration application.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated for an offset
press standard, apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For
example, for images separated for SWOP, choose SWOP-Coated as the
CMYK Simulation setting.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated according to
the color characteristics of a custom ICC profile (not a press standard
profile), select the corresponding profile from the CMYK Simulation
Profile print option on the iR C2100/2100S.
