Color connector is a stand-alone application that allows you to make
prints that match the colors produced by an input device such as a
scanner or monitor. It also allows you to simulate a job as if it were
printed on a commercial printing press.

You do this by combining transforms to create documents which contain
color management information specific to the input device you are using
such as a scanner, digital camera, or your monitor, and your output device
such as the 8670 printer.

Creating Color Connector Files

You create color connector files by extracting source transforms,
simulation transforms, and destination transforms from ICC profiles.

These transforms are represented as “puzzle pieces.” Drag each selected
puzzle piece to an empty socket in the color connector template for your
job. Each type of transform is represented by a particular shape. Match
the shape of the transform with the shape of the socket in the template.

With color connector you can color manage multiple source images on a
single page. The template contains six sockets to allow separate color
management for the six different kinds of source images.

The color connector file you create can be applied to your print job or
stored in the printer as a default.
