Color Management

Color management is the process of ensuring the accuracy of the colors in an image using a profile of the media and ink that will be used to print the image.

Two color management workflows are supported by the Color- Span RIP:

◆ColorSpan — uses a ColorSpan format color profile to cor- rect the image on the RIP, and color calibration data to lin- earize the printed output.

◆ICC — uses an ICC format color profile to correct the image on the client workstation, and color calibration data to lin- earize the printed output. In this case, no color correction is performed on the RIP.

For details on using the ColorMark+ software to create color profiles for the ColorSpan or ICC workflow, refer to the Color- Mark+ User Guide, part number 0706133.

The Input Color Space option you select determines how image colors are converted from one device to another, which estab- lishes the method of color correction that will be performed by the print server.

Matching the output color space, as defined in application pro- grams such as Adobe Photoshop, with its corresponding conver- sion method will result in more accurate color reproduction and an expanded color gamut. (See “Selecting an Output Color Space” on page 7-4 for instructions.) If you receive files from customers, ask what color space they were created in so you can print them in the same space.

RGB - Used for print jobs created in the RGB color space; best for most images.
