assures that a PDF/X file runs as intended. So
when a customer embeds color-management

Putting exacting control
in your hands.

It’s what you need

Color tuning down to

to create something special,
every day.

Manage color, beautifully. From desktop to press, the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server

with ConfidentColor Technology gives you the power to manage color and quality—
with ease, speed, and confidence. It’s the print server to count on for the most
creative—and most critical—customers. Yours.

Hands off or hands on.

Take a hands-off approach and let the server do
its job automatically. Built-in and transparent
controls optimize color for great results, right
out of the box. Or refine server settings with
hands-on flexibility. The user-friendly interface
puts high-level control at your fingertips, so you
can fine-tune for individual preferences or to
compensate for less-than-perfect files.

Superior quality for every
situation.

Whether you’re starting out in digital color or
are already delivering color-critical jobs, this
sleek, simple, and smart print server can help
you get the job done. It makes easy work out
of both traditional CMYK and digital-age RGB
workflows (including emulations), so you can
move jobs between offset and digital workflows.
And programmable queues allow you to easily
customize your setup once and automate
production, consistently giving you the results
you need.

the page level for great control.

Control and flexibility.

While most print servers force you to apply the
same color settings to a document in its entirety,
with the FreeFlow Print Server, you have the
flexibility to make adjustments to the entire
document or at a page level. So you can fine­tune results to your satisfaction.

Image-quality features can be customized to •
each individual page, including color profiles,
anti-aliasing, and trapping.

With Tone Reproduction Curve control, •
operators can manipulate CMYK separations
independently and with extreme precision.

In a save/reprint workflow, images do not have •
to be re-RIPped to apply these corrections.

The FreeFlow Print Server builds in several levels
of color control, so images can be corrected at
the print server when adjusting the source files
isn’t practical. The resulting output quality is
optimized because each page is treated exactly
as needed.

Simplified color adjustment.

Slider controls make it easy for non-color experts
to adjust highlights, midtones, and shadows.
Create a warmer or cooler look, higher or lower
contrast, or other color adjustment with these
simple controls. A preview window shows real­time changes. And adjustments can be made at
the job level, for page ranges, or on the queue.

Before color adjustment

Automate each job and every workflow.

With the FreeFlow Print Server, page-level tuning gives you great control for individual jobs. But
you can also set up queues so that color corrections are made automatically. What’s more, you

have the power to easily manage multiple jobs from multiple queues.

Set up customized print workflows once and use them over and over again—without having
to reprogram. In addition to color settings, you can assign other printing parameters, such
as paper size and imposition. With up to 250 queues, workflows can be created and saved
according to the job or customer. Then individual jobs or batches can be routed through

individual queues whenever needed. Simply, automatically, and with consistent results.
