Managing color
Color management on the IC-309 print controller
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 the sheet.
The IC-309 print controller enables you to use these tools to adjust
and improve the color quality in your jobs:
● Profiling Tool, which enables you to create destination profiles
that define the color space of your press and are based on the
combinations of paper and toner that you are using. For
different media types, you need different destination profiles.
You can create custom destination profiles for each printer and
fine tune the color outputs of the printer, improve color matching
between printers, and improve color consistency over time.
● Profile Manager, which enables you to import profiles that define
the color space of the , and are based on the combinations of
the 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 and create
custom libraries per media type.
● Gradation Tool, which enables you to create and edit gradation
tables to perform tone corrections on your printed output.
IPDS and AFP color management
Note: The IPDS workflow is available only with the Trans Pack.
When you are working in IPDS mode, the IPDS data is handled
according to the Color Management Object Content Architecture
(CMOCA), as defined by the AFP Color Consortium (AFPCC).
The IC-309 print controller applies color management options for
each IPDS data object according to the Color Management
Resources (CMR) that are included in the IPDS data stream.
This also applies to AFP files processed in file submission mode.
