Setting color management print options
You choose print options from the various panes of the AdobePS driver
dialog box. To access the initial AdobePS dialog box, choose Print from your
application’s File menu.
NOTE: The word “pane” is used to describe the different pages that appear in
the driver’s dialog box when you make selections from the pull-down menu at
the top left. Each pane presents a particular set of print options.
The AdobePS driver includes the following Color Matching options.
• Color/Grayscale—When this setting is used to print to the iR C2100/
2100S, ColorWise provides all color conversions on the iR C2100/2100S.
Typically, you should use this option when printing to the iR C2100/
2100S.
• PostScript Color Matching—Intended for use with PostScript devices such
as the iR C2100/2100S. It provides for color conversion on the iR C2100/
2100S using a color rendering dictionary resident on the iR C2100/2100S
(that is, a iR C2100/2100S CRD) or a color rendering dictionary that is
downloaded with the print job.
NOTE: If you use the PostScript Color Matching option, the driver may,
depending on the application you are using, attach a CMYK source
definition to the CMYK data in your document. In such a case, the CMYK
data in your document is reseparated using a iR C2100/2100S CRD. The
destination color space for the CRD is determined by the RGB Separation
print option. By setting RGB Separation to Simulation, CMYK data is
printed according to all specified CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK
Simulation Method settings. By setting RGB Separation to Output, CMYK
data is converted to the selected output profile’s CMYK color space.
• ColorSync Color Matching—Provides for color conversion on the host
computer. This option can be used with PostScript devices such as the
iR C2100/2100S, but it is intended for use with PostScript Level 1 devices.
If you use this option, be sure to specify the iR C2100/2100S’s ICC profile
as the Printer Profile. ColorSync Color Matching is not a suggested color
matching method because it does not work in conjunction with all
applications and requires that you disable features of ColorWise on the
iR C2100/2100S.
