1-8 iR C2100/2100S Color Management
NOTE: If you are printing with the PostScript printer driver on a Windows
95/98 computer, the name of each profile is visible in the pop-up menu for
the CMYK Simulation Profile setting. If you are printing with the PostScript
printer driver on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or a Mac OS computer,
custom simulations appear as Simulation 1 through Simulation 10.
The CMYK Simulation Profile setting you should specify depends on the
press standard for which the CMYK data was separated.
For images that were separated using a custom separation (such as a
separation produced with an ICC profile), choose the corresponding
profile on the iR C2100/2100S with the CMYK Simulation Profile setting.
For images that were separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK
Simulation Profile setting.
NOTE: To properly simulate a printed image that was separated through the
use of an ICC profile, the same profile must be present on the iR C2100/
2100S. For more information about downloading ICC profiles to the
iR C2100/2100S, see “Downloading profiles” on page 4-5.
The Match Copy setting bypasses iR C2100/2100S calibration to simulate
the color of a copy produced by the copier/printer
CMYK Simulation Method
The CMYK Simulation Method setting specifies the quality of simulation to
perform.
Quick applies one-dimensional transfer curves that adjust output density
only.
Full provides a more complete and accurate simulation by applying
colorimetric transformations that adjust hue as well as output density. The
Full Simulation option also maintains the integrity of the black channel by
adjusting it independently. This is especially important for images
separated using an optimized black generation (UCR/GCR) setting either
from a scan or from within an application such as Photoshop.
