Kodak Printer manual Creating Color Connector Files

Page 2

Color connector is a stand-alone application that allows you to make prints that match the colors produced by an input device such as a scanner or monitor. It also allows you to simulate a job as if it were printed on a commercial printing press.

You do this by combining transforms to create documents which contain color management information specific to the input device you are using such as a scanner, digital camera, or your monitor, and your output device such as the 8670 printer.

Creating Color Connector Files

You create color connector files by extracting source transforms, simulation transforms, and destination transforms from ICC profiles.

These transforms are represented as “puzzle pieces.” Drag each selected puzzle piece to an empty socket in the color connector template for your job. Each type of transform is represented by a particular shape. Match the shape of the transform with the shape of the socket in the template.

With color connector you can color manage multiple source images on a single page. The template contains six sockets to allow separate color management for the six different kinds of source images.

The color connector file you create can be applied to your print job or stored in the printer as a default.

Refer to Using Color Connector for complete instructions on how to use this color management software.

Printer specifications

Kodak printers have established themselves as a reliable choice for both home and office printing needs. Renowned for their innovative technologies and user-friendly features, Kodak printers blend quality, efficiency, and convenience into one compact package.

One of the standout features of Kodak printers is their exceptional print quality. Utilizing Kodak’s proprietary pigment-based ink technology ensures that prints are not only vibrant and lifelike but also resistant to fading. This is especially important for families looking to preserve cherished memories in photo albums or for professionals creating high-quality presentations.

Another major characteristic of Kodak printers is their versatility. Many models support a variety of media sizes and types, from standard letter-sized paper to photo paper and even specialty media. This adaptability makes them ideal for a wide range of printing projects, whether you're printing documents, photos, or creative crafts.

Kodak has embraced wireless technology, making connectivity a key feature of their printers. With built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, users can easily print from smartphones, tablets, and laptops without the hassle of connecting wires. Additionally, compatibility with various mobile apps, including Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint, further enhances the convenience of printing on the go.

Kodak printers also often incorporate all-in-one capabilities, streamlining tasks by offering printing, scanning, copying, and sometimes faxing in a single device. This multifunctional approach saves space and makes it easier for users to manage multiple tasks without needing multiple machines.

Sustainability is another critical aspect of Kodak’s approach to printing. Many Kodak printers utilize high-capacity ink cartridges that can significantly reduce waste and the need for frequent replacement. Additionally, Kodak’s commitment to eco-friendly practices ensures that users can print with confidence, knowing they are minimizing their environmental impact.

Lastly, Kodak's user-friendly interface simplifies the printing process, making it accessible for all age groups. Whether you're a tech-savvy user or someone who prefers straightforward functionality, Kodak printers are designed to meet diverse needs.

In summary, Kodak printers offer a blend of high-quality printing, versatile media handling, wireless connectivity, multifunctionality, and user-friendly design, making them a compelling choice for anyone in need of reliable, efficient printing solutions.
