Key features of ColorWise
ColorWise is the color management system (CMS) built into the
Fiery 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 Fiery.
For consistent color, calibrate the Fiery on a regular basis.
ColorWise Pro Tools include an easy-to-use calibrator, which
allows you to calibrate using a spectrophotometer or densitometer
(see Chapter 2).
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.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 12
13 Key features of ColorWise
• 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.
• Define the source of incoming RGB color data for better screen
matching and provide for better color conversion of RGB data
with no source information.
• Define whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the
printer or whether it is first converted into the gamut of another
device, such as a press standard. This feature is helpful for
making one device behave like another. It is also useful for
evaluating the appearance of the RGB file under different
printing conditions without having to reprocess the RGB data
each time.
ColorWise color management (ColorWise) offers an open color
architecture, allowing users to customize the Fiery to meet new
printing needs as they arise. ColorWise supports ICC profiles,
which are industry standard color profiles that describe the color
behavior of a device. Downloading ICC profiles to the Fiery
enables the Fiery to simulate a custom press (or another printer),
as well as accurately print colors from a particular monitor or a
scanner. In addition, you can create customized ICC profiles for
the printer.
ColorWise also allows you to use any Status T densitometer by
importing data in a standard file format (see Appendix B). In this
case, it is important to note that the quality of the instrument
used will determine the quality of the calibration.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 13
1-14 Managing color on the Fiery
1
Chapter 1: Fiery Color Management
The following sections describe the options available from the
ColorWise color management system and explain how to
customize the color settings for your particular needs. They
provide descriptions of the preset ColorWise default settings and
cover additional options for users who need to customize
ColorWise.
For information on PostScript Level 2 or 3 printer drivers, see
page 1-30. The section also contains information on the
capabilities of printer drivers and instructions for setting color
options with the PostScript drivers for Windows and Mac OS
computers.
Managing color on the Fiery
To modify printing behavior, do any of the following:
• Select ColorWise options for an individual print job using menus
that appear in the printer driver.
• Select most ColorWise options as server defaults from the “Color
Setup” application in ColorWise Pro Tools (see page 3-95).
Defaults can also be set from Fiery Setup, as described in the
Configuration Guide Chapter 4. These defaults will apply to all
subsequent print jobs unless you override them.
• Select some ColorWise options, particularly default ICC profile
settings and calibration options, from ColorWise Pro Tools. These
options include default Simulation Profile (see page 1-26), CMYK
Simulation Method (see page 1-27), Appear in Driver as (see
page 3-69), default Source Profile (see page 1-25), RGB
Separation (see page 1-28), and associated calibration set (see

Applications can generate color data for the Fiery in many
different color spaces. The most common type of color data
produced from office applications is RGB, while prepress

applications generally produce CMYK data. Desktop applications
can also generate spot colors, such as PANTONE colors. To
complicate matters, a single page may contain a mix of RGB,
CMYK, and spot colors. The Fiery allows users to control the
printing of these mixed-color documents with features that apply
specifically to RGB, CMYK, or spot color data. Fiery color
management generates CMYK data to be sent to the printer.
The following diagram illustrates the print options in the Fiery
color management process that affect color data conversions. You
can access these print options when you send a print job to the
Fiery. Most of these options and settings are described in
subsequent sections of this chapter.

Rendering Style
The Rendering Style option specifies a CRD for color conversions.
To control the appearance of images, such as prints from office
applications or RGB photographs from Photoshop, select the
appropriate Rendering Style. The Fiery allows you to select from
the four rendering styles currently found in industry standard ICC
profiles.

Pure Black Text/Graphics
The Pure Black Text/Graphics option affects the printout for black
text and vector graphics on a page. Under most circumstances,
leave this option set to On. When Pure Black Text/Graphics is on,
black colors generated by applications (for example, RGB = 0, 0,
0; CMYK = 0%, 0%, 0%, 100%; or K = 100%) are printed using
the maximum amount of black toner allowed by the calibration
curve. This means the black text and line art will not exhibit
halftone artifacts (as long as the printer is calibrated correctly)
and will not be misregistered, since there is only one toner used.
In addition, this setting eliminates blasting.
For some jobs, it is preferable to clear this option, for example, if
the page includes gradient fills that use black. The following table
describes the behavior of the Pure Black Text/Graphics option with
black data defined in different color spaces.

composites, not when printing separations.
Note:PostScript applications (such as QuarkXPress) may convert
elements defined as RGB = 0, 0, 0 to four-color CMYK black
before sending the job to the Fiery. These elements are not
affected by the Pure Black Text/Graphics option. For details, see
the application notes. Also, black text and line art defined as RGB
= 0, 0, 0 in office applications (such as Microsoft Word) are
converted to single-color black (CMYK = 0%, 0%, 0%, 100%) by
the Microsoft PostScript Level 3 driver for Windows 2000/XP. To
print this single-color black at the maximum toner density of the
printer, set the Pure Black Text/Graphics option to On.

Black Overprint
The Black Overprint option allows you to specify whether or not
black text or text/graphics—defined as RGB = 0, 0, 0, or as CMYK
= 0%, 0%, 0%, 100%—overprints colored backgrounds.
•
Text—Black text overprints colored backgrounds, eliminating
white gaps and reducing halo effects or misregistration of colors.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 22
1-23 Managing color on the Fiery

• Text & Graphics—Black text and graphics overprint colored
backgrounds, eliminating white gaps and reducing halo effects
or misregistration of colors.
•
Off—Black text or text/graphics knocks out colored
backgrounds.
Note:PostScript applications may perform their own black
overprint conversions before sending the print job to the Fiery.
One example of how you might use this setting is with a page that
contains black text on a light blue background. The background
blue color is CMYK = 40%, 30%, 0%, 0% and the black text is
CMYK = 0%, 0%, 0%, 100%.
• With Black Overprint set to Text or Text & Graphics, the final
text or text/graphic portions of the page are overprinted, or
combined with the underlying colors. Black colors generated by
applications (for example, RGB = 0%, 0%, 0%; CMYK = 0%,
0%, 0%, 100%) are printed using the maximum amount of
black toner allowed by the calibration curve. This means that
black text and line art will not exhibit halftone artifacts (as long
as the printer is calibrated correctly). There is no transition in
the cyan and magenta toners, and the quality of the output is
improved since it will not show artifacts near the edges of the
text or text/graphics. The option also works with text defined in
the RGB color space, that is RGB = 0, 0, 0.
• With Black Overprint Off, the border of the text or text/graphics
is on an edge that has cyan and magenta toners on one side
(outside the text) and black toner on the other side (inside the
text). This transition may cause visible artifacts because of the
practical limitations of the printer.
Spot Color Matching
The Spot Color Matching option provides automatic matching of
spot colors with their best CMYK equivalents.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 23
1-24 Fiery Color Management

• On—The Fiery uses a built-in table to generate the closest CMYK
matches of spot colors your printer can produce. (New tables
are generated when you add new output profiles.) With SpotOn, the Fiery uses the CMYK matches determined through SpotOn (see page 3-81).
•
Off—The Fiery uses CMYK equivalents defined by the spot color
manufacturer, such as PANTONE. These are the same CMYK
equivalents used by applications that include spot color libraries.
For jobs that include spot colors, set Spot Color Matching to On
unless you are printing press simulations. In that case, set Spot
Color Matching to Off and choose the appropriate CMYK
Simulation setting (see page 1-26).
For PDF jobs that include spot colors and where the spot colors
are not included in the built-in table, setting Spot Color Matching
to On retains the spot color originally specified. The Fiery
references the built-in table to generate the closest CMYK
matches of the original spot color.
Reference
Note:Use the Spot Color Matching option only when printing
composites, not when printing separations.
Spot Color Matching and the PANTONE Coated Color
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference (described in the Fiery
Color Reference Chapter 4) prints differently depending on the
Spot Color Matching setting.
•
On—The Fiery uses a built-in table or, with Spot-On, the Spot-On
color dictionaries (see page 3-81) to generate the best matches
of the PANTONE colors that your ES3640e MFP can produce. The
PANTONE number is printed below each swatch.
•
Off—The Fiery prints swatches using the CMYK values
recommended by Pantone Inc. (and used by applications that
provide PANTONE color libraries). The CMYK values used to
generate the color, as well as the PANTONE number of the color,
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 24
1-25 Managing color on the Fiery
1
are printed below each swatch. These CMYK values are printed
through the selected CMYK Simulation and Output Profile
settings.
RGB Source Profile
The RGB source profile setting allows you to define the
characteristics of the RGB data in your document so the
appropriate color conversion can occur on the Fiery. Commonly
used monitor color spaces are available from the printer driver
and from the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager. For special
needs, use ColorWise Pro Tools to download custom monitor or
scanner profiles.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source
Profile, the Fiery overrides source color space definitions or
profiles that other color management systems may have
specified. For example, if you specified a ColorSync System Profile
on your Mac OS computer, the RGB Source Profile setting
overrides it. In cases where you do not want this setting to
override another specified source color space, choose the None
setting.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source
Profile—since the color space definitions are overridden—the
output from the Fiery is consistent across platforms. The Fiery
RGB Source Profile options are:
•
EFIRGB specifies an EFI-defined color space recommended for
users who have no detailed information about their RGB data.
•
sRGB (PC) specifies the industry standard definition for a
generic Windows computer monitor.
•
Apple Standard specifies the definition of all standard Mac OS
computer monitors.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 25
1-26 Fiery Color Management

• Other allows you to specify custom RGB source settings. If you
choose Other as the RGB Source Profile setting, you must
choose settings for the Gamma, Phosphors, and White Point
options.
•
Sources 1-10 specify the definitions you download as RGB
source profiles. For more information about downloading RGB
source profiles, see page 3-66.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver from a Windows
computer and have Two-Way Communication enabled, the name
of each downloaded profile is represented in the RGB Source
Profile setting menu. If you are printing with the AdobePS driver
from a Mac OS computer, downloaded profiles appear as
Source-1 through Source-10. For more information on Two-Way
Communication, see Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation
Guide.
•
None instructs the Fiery to allow the RGB sources you defined
elsewhere, such as in the application, to be used. When you set
RGB Source to None, the appearance of colors will not be
independent of the file type. For example, RGB EPS files will look
different from RGB TIFF files.
With RGB Source set to None, PostScript RGB data that contains
a source color space definition is converted using the CRD
specified by the Rendering Style option (see page 1-20). NonPostScript RGB data and PostScript RGB data that does not
contain a source color space definition are converted using a
general undercolor removal (UCR) conversion method.
CMYK Simulation Profile
The CMYK Simulation Profile print option allows you to print press
proofs or simulations. This setting specifies the offset press
standard or other color printing device that you want to simulate.
This option affects CMYK data only.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 26
1-27 Managing color on the Fiery

With the Windows printer drivers, you can also view an unlimited
number of custom Full simulations created using ColorWise Pro
Tools. On Mac OS computers, you can view up to 10 Full custom
simulations. The number of custom simulations is limited by the
disk space on the Fiery.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver from a Windows
computer and have Two-Way Communication enabled, the name
of each downloaded or custom profile is represented in the CMYK
Simulation Profile setting menu. If you are printing with the
AdobePS driver from a Mac OS computer, downloaded or custom
profiles appear as Simulation-1 through Simulation-10. For more
information on Two-Way Communication, see the User Software
Installation Guide Chapter 1.
The None setting sends your original CMYK data to the printer in
its calibrated state, without conversions to simulate another
printer.
The CMYK Simulation Profile setting you specify depends on the
press standard for which the CMYK data was separated.
• For images that were separated using a custom separation (such
as a separation produced with an ICC profile), choose the
corresponding profile on the Fiery with the CMYK Simulation
Profile setting.
• For images that were separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the
CMYK Simulation Profile setting.
Note:To properly simulate a printed image that was separated
through the use of an ICC profile, the same profile must be
present on the Fiery. For more information about downloading ICC
profiles to the Fiery, see “Downloading profiles” on page 3-66.
CMYK Simulation Method
The CMYK Simulation Method allows you to define your preferred
CMYK-to-CMYK conversion technique.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 27
1-28 Fiery Color Management

• Quick applies one-dimensional transfer curves to adjust output
densities in the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black channels. This
technique leads to pleasant color output from your printer
because pure primary colors are not “contaminated” by other
colorants. While it is the fastest simulation method and perfect
for drafts, avoid using it for final documents that will be used as
press proofs. Other techniques offer more color simulation
accuracy, which is expected by proofing applications.
•
Full (Source GCR) provides a complete and accurate simulation
based on colorimetric transformations. Hues are preserved,
even for primary colors. The Gray Component Replacement
(GCR) level that was specified in the original (source) document
is also preserved. Full (Source GCR) is therefore an excellent
simulation technique for the highest quality press proofing
applications.
•
Full (Output GCR) is also a complete and accurate simulation
method based on colorimetric transformations. Hues are
preserved, even for primary colors. With this method, the Gray
Component Replacement (GCR) level that was specified in the
original document is not preserved. Instead, all CMYK data is
reseparated using the GCR level specified by the Output Profile.
This simulation technique is similar to traditional ICC color
matching methods and is appropriate for most documents
designed for the press, but reproduced on your ES3640e MFP.
Note:When you specify On for Pure Black Text/Graphics, and
specify Full (Output GCR) for CMYK Simulation Method, the black
text and graphics in your document are printed with 100%
black-only toner.
RGB Separation
The RGB Separation option determines how RGB colors (as well as
Lab and XYZ colors) are converted to CMYK. The name of this
option is meant to be descriptive, since the option defines the
color spaces that will be used by the Fiery to “separate” the RGB
data into CMYK values.
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 28
1-29 Managing color on the Fiery
1
The two choices available for this option determine whether RGB
data is converted into the full gamut of the printer (see output
profile) or is first converted into the gamut of another digital
printer or press standard (simulation). This feature is helpful for
making one device behave like another for RGB data. For
example, if a high-quality ICC profile is available for another print
device, the Fiery can simulate the behavior of that device.
RGB Separation is also useful for prepress applications. For
example, it allows you to experiment with the appearance of an
RGB scan under different press printing conditions, without having
to convert the RGB data to CMYK data for each condition. When
the desired printing condition is found, convert the file to CMYK,
using the same CMYK simulation profile you used during the
experimentation.
Note:The RGB Separation print option should be used in
conjunction with the Output Profile or CMYK Simulation Profile
print options.
Output converts all RGB colors into the CMYK color space of your
•
printer (when set to the printer’s default), or a customized CMYK
color space for your printer (when set to Output 1-10).
•
Simulation converts all RGB colors into the CMYK color space for
a specified simulation (select the desired simulation with the
CMYK Simulation Profile print option).
Output profile
An output profile consists of a profile for your printer, describing
its color characteristics.
In certain cases, you may want to customize the default output
profile using the ColorWise Pro Tools Color Editor to achieve
particular color effects (see page 3-72). If you do so, the new
customized output profile is applied to all data in the print job.
Changing the output profile does not affect its associated
ES3640e MFP Color Guide - 29

1
calibration target (since the target is based on a printer model).
You can edit D-Max values of the calibration target separately (see
page 3-72).
Use the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager to download your
own output profile to the Fiery (see page 3-66). Downloaded
output profiles are at first associated with the calibration target
that is tied to the default output profile. You can edit calibration
target D-Max values separately.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver from a Windows
computer and have enabled Two-Way Communication, the name
of each downloaded or custom profile is represented in the Output
Profile setting menu. If you are printing with the AdobePS driver
from a Mac OS computer, downloaded or custom profiles appear
as Output-1 through Output-10. For more information on TwoWay Communication, see the User Software Installation Guide
Chapter 1.
Combine Separations
The Combine Separations setting specifies how to print separated
CMYK data. With Spot-On, you can combine an unlimited number
of spot color separations along with the CMYK separations.
The Combine Separations options are:
•
Off prints each separation individually.
•
On combines separations as a single, composite-color document
and automatically makes these settings for the following print
options: Color Mode (CMYK), Rendering Style (None), Pure
Black Text/Graphics (Off), Spot Color Matching (Off), or Black
Overprint (Off).
For information about using the Combine Separations option with
applications such as Photoshop, see the Fiery Color Reference.
