2.DocuSP color management

Color management is a process of attempting to match colors across input (scanners, digital cameras), display (computer monitors), and output devices (color printers).

Hardware devices such as Spectrophotometers for calibration and software tools such as color profiles, tone reproduction curves (TRCs) and color tools are used to match or adjust color to achieve a quality color image.

Spectrophotometers are used to calibrate data for the print engine. Calibration data is used to adjust color balance for stock by halftone.

Color management software converts RGB and CMYK input color profiles to the color gamut of a specific output device. DocuSP supports the traditional CMYK workflow as well as the ICC Profile workflow.

TRCs and other color tools allow you to make custom color adjustments, fine tuning the color image.

DocuSP provides the software color management tools you can use to produce quality color output.

Refer to the DocuSP on-line help system for detailed information and step-by-step usage procedures for all tools and processes presented in this guide.

Queue overrides

An override can be set for many of the queue properties in Queue Manager. A selected override property is applied to all jobs submitted to that queue, regardless of job or job ticket settings.
