1-1 Managing color on the iR C2100/2100S
The first part of this chapter describes the options available from the
ColorWise color management system and explains how you can customize
the color settings for your particular needs. It provides descriptions of the
preset default settings of ColorWise and covers additional options for users
who need to customize ColorWise.
Beginning on page 1-12 is a detailed explanation of what a PostScript Level 2
or PostScript 3 printer driver does, as well as information on the capabilities
of various printer drivers and instructions for setting color options with the
PostScript drivers for Windows and Mac OS.
Managing color on the iR C2100/2100S
There are three ways to modify the iR C2100/2100S printing behavior:
• You can select ColorWise options for an individual print job using menus
that appear from the printer driver.
• You can select most ColorWise options as server defaults from iR C2100/
2100S Setup or from the Control Panel, as described in the
Configuration
Guide
. These defaults will apply to all subsequent print jobs unless you
override them.
• You can select some ColorWise options, particularly default
ICC profile
settings and calibration options, from ColorWise Pro Tools. These options
include default Simulation Profile (see page 1-7), Simulation Method (see
page 1-8), Appear in Driver as (see page 4-8), default Source Profile (see
page 1-5), RGB Separation (see page 1-6), and associated calibration set
(see page 3-3).
Applications can generate color data for the iR C2100/2100S in many
different
color spaces
. The most common type of color data produced from
office applications is RGB, while prepress applications generally produce
CMYK data. Desktop applications can also generate spot colors such as
PANTONE colors. To complicate matters, a single page may contain a mix
of RGB, CMYK, and spot colors. The iR C2100/2100S lets users control the
printing of these mixed-color documents with features that apply specifically
to RGB, CMYK, or spot color data.
