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.
