1-2 iR C2100/2100S Color Management
iR C2100/2100S color management generates CMYK data to be sent to the
copier/printer; additional processing may then be performed before printing
begins.
The diagram below illustrates the print options in the iR C2100/2100S color
management process that affect color data conversions. You access these print
options when you send a print job to the iR C2100/2100S. Most of these
options and settings are described in subsequent sections of this chapter.
RGB Source Profile is the only color option that applies strictly to RGB color
data. The other options that affect RGB color also affect the more rarely used
Lab, XYZ, and other calibrated color spaces.

For users who are familiar with PostScript 3.0 color, RGB Source
Profile affects all CIEBasedABC color spaces (if the source space is RGB).
Also, if you send CMYK data to the iR C2100/2100S in CIEBasedDEFG
format, for example, by choosing PostScript Color Management in Adobe
Photoshop, the iR C2100/2100S’s Rendering Style selection—which
normally affects only RGB data—will also affect this CMYK data.
