8Color management

HP Designjet SmartStream provides many advanced color management features with a very simple user interface. ICC V4 and V2 color profiles are fully supported for all supported file types, plus black point compensation, PDF output intent, HP Professional PANTONE emulation, and Crystal Preview soft-proofing (see Crystal Preview on page 31).

HP Professional PANTONE Emulation (HP PPE) is a technology that replaces PANTONE color names with RGB or CMYK colors calculated specifically for your printer and paper at print time, in the same way that professional graphic artists and prepress professionals prepare PANTONE emulations by hand. The results are professional-quality emulations of PANTONE colors that look as similar to the originals as possible with a given combination of printer and paper.

Crystal Preview soft-proofing uses the Adobe Libraries to emulate on your screen what your print will look like on paper, using color profiles provided with your printer to take account of the characteristics of paper, ink, and printing mode.

Supported color spaces

●PDF: Any color space supported by PDF 1.7

●JPEG: Gray, RGB, CMYK, and ITU/Fax CIE L*a*b*

●TIFF: Monochrome, indexed, gray, RGB, CMYK, and CIE L*a*b*

Color options

Color management is automatically applied by HP Designjet SmartStream to provide optimal color output. However, you can choose between two color management options in the Preferences window (see Printer- specific preferences on page 15):

●Relative colorimetric: This is the default option. It favors more saturated colors and modern CMYK standards. It uses relative colorimetric rendering intent and black point compensation, sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 as the default RGB color space, and ISO Coated v2 as the default CMYK color space.

●Perceptual: This option provides color consistency with a printer using a PostScript driver. It uses perceptual rendering intent, sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 as the default RGB color space, and SWOP as the default CMYK color space.
