About color printing

Color server

Color servers are connected to your network and drive the color output devices (digital color presses/printers). Each time an image is sent to a printer, the color server connected to the printer converts, or rasterizes, the data in the file into dots which can be printed by the target output device. Each dot is assigned a specific location, color, and density level.

Color servers optimize the color of a document by manipulating the dots which make up the image so that it matches the gamut of the printer.

Image quality functions typically associated with a color server include:

Processing while printing which allows the color server to concurrently submit pages to the output device while processing new images for printing.

Advanced text and line art quality controls provide anti-aliasing capabilities for high-quality text and graphics.

Color Management System facilitates optimizations of images and offset ink/toner simulations.

Document storage keeps the rasterized file resident on the color server for future processing.

For further information, refer to the documentation that came with your color server.
