TO ACCESS COLOUR SETUP OPTIONS
In the following list of options, default values, where applicable, appear in
square brackets.
RGB Source Profile
EFIRGB/sRGB (PC)/Apple Standard/None [EFIRGB]
The RGB source is the colour space used to control colour for conversion from moni-
tor to printed output. EFIRGB is based on the reference points used in the creation of
the Fiery software. sRGB is based on an average of a large number of PC monitors.
Apple Standard is the standard reference point for Apple’s ColorSync software.
Rendering Style
Photographic/Presentation/Abs. Colorimetric/Rel. Colorimetric [Presentation]
The colour rendering dictionary (CRD) defines how colours are converted from the
RGB colour space to device CMYK. Photographic, designed for images, retains the rel-
ative balance between colours to maintain the overall appearance of the image. Presen-
tation, designed for bright colours, produces the saturated prints needed for most
business presentations, but handles photographic images the same way as the Photo-
graphic CRD. Absolute Colorimetric provides the closest match to the CMYK device
being simulated, including rendering the paper colour as the background. Relative
Colorimetric provides a close match to the CMYK device being simulated, regardless
of the media used.
CMYK Simulation Profile
SWOP-Coated (EFI)/DIC (EFI)/Euroscale (EFI)/None [SWOP-Coated (EFI) in North
America, Euroscale (EFI) elsewhere]
CMYK simulation allows colour correction to simulate printed output on a commer-
cial press, so that the Fiery output can be used for proofing. The SWOP-Coated stan-
dard is used in the United States, DIC in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom
simulations are user defined and named. The simulations provided with the Fiery have
the designation “EFI” after their names.
