DocuSP color management

Color workflows

A color image follows a path as it is converted from an input color profile to the output CMYK of the print engine. Factors that determine the path are:

•the characteristics and type of the input profile

•conversions needed for the output profile of the print engine

•enhancements made by you, the user

Color path charts

Jobs take one of five paths through the DocuSP controller. Whenever possible, you should use the Xerox Enhanced Path which provides the highest quality color for incoming SWOP™ CMYK color and faster RIP speed.

The color path chart (see Figure 2-1. Simplified DocuSP Color Workflow) displays the paths different documents take as they move through the DocuSP color management system and are processed for print.

The paths are:

•ICC Standard Path

•Xerox Enhanced Path

•CMYK Native Path

•Fast Reprint Path

•PANTONE® Path
