Setting up your monitor and the monitor profile
Some 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 53)
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 EDITING 13
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 ColorWise Pro Tools Color Editor. 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

SPOT-ON WITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING 22
SPOT-ON WITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING
In addition to managing “named” colors, Spot-On 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 Color Printing.
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 digital 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.
Using Two-Color Print Mapping
In the Two-Color Print Mapping feature, the colors that are used in a job are mapped with the
colors to print. From the Spot-On main window, open the Define Two-Color Print Map
dialog box and then reassign the document colors to the named or custom colors to print
with. When the feature is turned on from the printer driver, EX8002 replaces the document
colors with the colors you defined in the Define Two-Color Print Map dialog box. You can
also override the print option setting using Command WorkStation.
SPOT-ON WITH TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING 23
Defining a color for Two-Color Print Mapping
Use the following procedure to define the color mappings in the Two-Color Print Map
dialog box.
TO DEFINE A COLOR FOR TWO-COLOR PRINT MAPPING
