Key features of ColorWise
ColorWise
is the
color management system (CMS)
built into the EX7750 and
designed to provide both casual and expert users with the best color output for a
variety of purposes. The ColorWise default settings provide high-quality out-of-box
color from many Windows and Mac OS applications. This allows casual users to
achieve quality output without knowing about or changing any color settings on
the EX7750.
For consistent color, calibrate the EX7750 on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro Tools
includes an easy-to-use calibrator that allows you to calibrate using a
spectrophotometer
or
densitometer
(see
ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular
needs, you can:
• Set the behavior of
CMYK
printing to emulate
DIC
,
Euroscale
, and
SWOP
offset
press standards.
• Match PANTONE and other
spot colors
for the best match when printed using
four-color press conditions or when printed using presses with extra, custom plates.
• Select a
color rendering dictionary
(CRD), also called a rendering style, for
RGB
printing. CRDs allow for rich, saturated printing of
presentation graphics
; smooth,
accurate printing of photographs; and relative or absolute colorimetric rendering for
specialized needs.
