SWOP Plus details
This new profile sets hues within the SWOP gamut to continue to simulate a SWOP press. But
This profile provides a SWOP press rendering, but it also allows customers to leverage the larger color gamut available on the digital presses. It is expected that this profile will become widely used.
DocuSP now offers three CMYK paths for color objects in the SWOP color space:
♦The SWOP+ path provides contrast similar to SWOP in the midtones but with full gamut boundary mapping of saturated colors. It more closely resembles SWOP prints with more saturated colors in high C,M,Y calls. SWOP+ should be considered for use with legacy SWOP files when SWOP tone reproduction is required but the full (and larger) gamut of the press is desired.
♦The SWOP path (default) offers mapping essentially identical to the TR001 data and SWOP v.2 profile in Photoshop. All existing, published standards offer visually identical output from DocuSP. This choice provides higher RIP speeds but essentially identical output for workflows where the Photoshop SWOP v.2 is common.
♦The Native CMYK path (iGen3 selections) provides a higher contrast, color saturated rendition of a SWOP press. This path should be considered for jobs requiring vibrant color output with legacy SWOP files. This path also provides rated RIP speed as a benefit due to TRC rendering rather than LUT rendering.
GCR Workflows
DocuSP 4.2 provides the user with more Gray Component Removal (GCR) selections, as well as more consistent reproduction across GCR selections.
