Key features of ColorWise
ColorWise
is the second-generation
color management system
(CMS) built
into the iR C2100/2100S and designed to provide both casual and expert
users the best color output for a variety of purposes. The ColorWise default
settings were specifically selected to provide great out-of-box color from
many applications and Windows and Mac OS platforms. This means that
casual users can get good quality output without knowing about or changing
any color settings on the iR C2100/2100S.
To get consistent color you should be sure that the iR C2100/2100S is
calibrated on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro Tools include a simple-to-use
calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using built-in methods or an
optional densitometer (see Chapter 3).
