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
