PostScript printer driver for Windows and Mac OS

Setting color management print options

Choose settings for color print options from the various panes of the AdobePS driver dialog box. To access the initial AdobePS dialog box, choose Print from the File menu of your application.

NOTE: The term “pane” is used to describe the different pages that appear in the driver dialog box when you make selections from the menu at the upper-left corner of the dialog box. Each pane presents a particular set of print options.

The AdobePS driver includes the following Color Matching options.

•Color/Grayscale—When this setting is used to print to the GA-1121, ColorWise provides all color conversions on the GA-1121. Typically, use this option when printing to the GA-1121.

•PostScript Color Matching—Can be used with PostScript devices, such as the GA-1121. It provides for color conversion using a color rendering dictionary (CRD) that is downloaded with the print job. This method requires that the file is saved as an EPS with PostScript Color Management selected.

NOTE: If you use the PostScript Color Matching option, the driver may, depending on the application in use, attach a CMYK source definition to the CMYK data in your document. In such a case, the CMYK data in the document is reseparated using a GA-1121 CRD. The destination color space for the CRD is determined by the RGB Separation print option. When RGB Separation is set to Simulation, CMYK data is printed according to all specified CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method settings. When RGB Separation is set to Output, CMYK data is converted to the selected output profile’s CMYK color space.

•ColorSync Color Matching—Provides for color conversion on the host computer. This option can be used with PostScript devices such as the GA-1121, but it is intended for use with PostScript Level 1 devices. If you use this option, you must specify the GA-1121 ICC profile as the Printer Profile. ColorSync Color Matching is not a suggested color matching method because it does not work in conjunction with all applications and requires that you disable features of ColorWise on the GA-1121.
