7 Managing color

Color management on the CX print server

Color management is a series of steps taken to ensure that colors are accurate and repeatable when transferred from one device to another. These steps enable you to reproduce the color conceived by a graphic artist or photographer as closely as possible on a monitor, a proof, or a press sheet.

The CX print server enables you to use these tools to adjust and improve the color quality in your jobs:

Profile Manager, which enables you to import profiles that define the color space of the printer, and are based on the combinations of the paper and toner that you are using. For different media types, you need different destination profiles.

Spot Color Editor, which enables you to edit the CMYK values of every spot color in the Spot color dictionary.

Gradation Tool, which enables you to create and edit gradation tables to perform tone corrections on your printed output.

Calibration table manager, which enables you to edit and view calibration tables.

Note: This is part of the Creative Power Kit.

Media and Color Manager, which enables you to map certain media parameters to a destination profile, screening, and calibration table.

Managing profiles

Profiles are used to reproduce color from one device’s color space to another device's color space in a consistent manner. They provide the necessary information to convert color data between device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color spaces. You use profiles to color-manage your system.
