INTRODUCTION12
Setting up your monitor and the monitor profile
Some Fiery Graphic Arts Package features require that a job be displayed with correct colors
on your monitor.
The following features require the correct monitor display:
• Paper Simulation White Point editing (see page 13)
• ImageViewer previewing from Command WorkStation (see page 36)
To display the colors correctly on your monitor, you must set up the monitor display
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and specify the correct monitor profile
for your monitor.
Specify the following settings for the monitor display:
• At the monitor: Brightness, Contrast, and Temperature
• From the control panel of the operating system: Resolution, Refresh rate, and Number
of colors
For more information about setting up your monitor and the monitor profile, see the
documentation that accompanies the monitor.
PAPER SIMULATION WHITE POINT EDITING13
PAPER SIMULATION WHITE POINT EDITING
Although an ICC profile contains a definition of “white,” the white may not always visually
match the human eye, requiring a perceptual adjustment. The Paper Simulation White Point
editing feature allows you to perceptually adjust the hue, brightness, and saturation of the
simulated paper white defined in the ICC profile.
Paper simulation workflow
You can print a job with the Paper Simulation feature set to On from the printer driver
without customizing paper simulation. Many jobs may print satisfactorily with the fixed
default Paper Simulation setting. However, you can customize the paper simulation by editing
the white point values with Command WorkStation. After you customize the values, print the
job with the custom paper simulation values from the printer driver by setting the Paper
Simulation print option to On.
To print a job with the fixed Paper Simulation setting, use the procedure on page 13.
For more information about editing Paper Simulation White Point values and printing
with custom paper simulation values, see page 14.
Printing with default Paper Simulation
Use the following procedure to print a job with the fixed Paper Simulation value.
NOTE: The procedures for printing a job from a Mac OS or a Windows computer are similar.
TOPRINTAJOBWITHDEFAULT PAPER SIMULATION
1 Choose Print from your application.
2 Select the EX Print Server as your printer and click Properties.
The Properties dialog box appears with the Fiery Printing tab selected.
3 Click the Color icon.
4 Click Expert Settings.
The Advanced Edit dialog box appears.
5 Under the Color Input tab, select Paper Simulation.
6 Click OK to close the Advanced Edit dialog box.
7 Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
8 Click Print.
The job prints with the default Paper Simulation White Point setting.
PAPER SIMULATION WHITE POINT EDITING14
Paper Simulation print option
The following values are available for the Paper Simulation print option:
• Off (Default)
•On
NOTE: If you have not edited the Paper Simulation White Point values with Command
WorkStation and selected On for this option, your job is printed with the default Paper
Simulation values. If you edited the values, your job is printed with the custom Paper
Simulation values.
Paper Simulation White Point editing
Your job may print satisfactorily with the fixed Paper Simulation setting. However, you can
customize the Paper Simulation setting by editing the Paper Simulation White Point values
with Command WorkStation.
NOTE: To display the colors correctly with your monitor, you must set the monitor and
monitor settings correctly. For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.
To edit a custom profile, do the following:
• Select a CMYK Source Profile.
• Link the CMYK source profile to an output profile.
To access the Paper Simulation White Point dialog box, see the instructions in Command
WorkStation Help.
NOTE: If Paper Simulation is set to On, and you have defined a substitute color as
C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0, the values defined in Substitute Colors override those for Paper
Simulation. For information about Substitute Colors, see Command WorkStation Help.
PAPER SIMULATION WHITE POINT EDITING15
Printing with custom paper simulation values
After you edit the paper simulation values in Command WorkStation, you can print a
document with the custom paper simulation values from the printer driver. You can also
override the setting in Job Properties.
NOTE: The procedures for printing a job from a Windows or Mac OS computer are
fundamentally the same. The following procedure uses illustrations from a Mac OS computer.
Use the following procedure to print a job with the custom paper simulation values.

profile from the Output Profile list.
10 Click OK.
The Color pane reappears.
11 Click OK, and then click Print.
The job is printed using your custom CMYK Source profile with the edited White Point
values.
SPOT-ONWITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING17
SPOT-ONWITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING
In addition to managing “named” colors, the Spot-On spot color editor in Command
WorkStation allows you to assign spot colors and process colors to the generic colors that are
used in a job. The Two-Color Print Mapping feature is designed for print shop operators to
do the proofing for a two-color press. You can print a two-color job to a two-color device by
mapping the colors in a job to the colors that are already created on the device.
For information about managing named colors with Spot-On, see Command WorkStation
Help.
NOTE: The RGB colors in a document are first converted to CMYK colors and then the
Two-Color Print Mapping is applied.
The following limitations apply when you use the Two-Color Print Mapping feature:
• The settings for Two-Color Print Mapping are ignored when the Composite Overprint
and Combine Separation features are enabled.
• Postflight does not report on Two-Color Print Mapping, because Postflight reports the
source state of a document. The color space that the press receives before any conversions
is reported in Postflight.
• You cannot select the Two-Color Print Mapping and Substitute Color options at the same
time. Also, you cannot select a substitute color to be used in the Two-Color Print Mapping
feature.
Setting up Two-Color Print Mapping
1 Click to open the Define
2-Color Print Mapping
window
SPOT-ONWITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING18
In the Two-Color Print Mapping feature, the colors that are used in a job are mapped with the
colors to print. From Spot-On, open the Define 2-Color Print Mapping window and then
reassign the document colors to the named or custom colors to print with.
1
When the Two-Color Print Mapping print option is enabled for a job, the EX Print Server
replaces the document colors with the colors you defined in the Define 2-Color Print
Mapping window.
To define the color mappings in the Define 2-Color Print Mapping window, see the
instructions in Command WorkStation Help.
SPOT-ONWITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING19
Printing a job with Two-Color Print Mapping
After you map the colors in the Define 2-Color Print Mapping window in Spot-On, you can
print a two-color job from the printer driver. You can also override the print option setting
using Command WorkStation Job Properties.
NOTE: When you print a job, select the same output profile from the printer driver as you
selected when you set up Two-Color Print Mapping in Spot-On. Otherwise, print mappings
that are defined in Spot-On have no effect.
NOTE: The procedures for printing a job from a Mac OS and a Windows computer
are similar.
