INTRODUCTION

Key features of ColorWise

ColorWise is the color management system ( CMS ) built into the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000

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 EXP6000/EXP5000.

For consistent color, calibrate the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro Tools includes an easy-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using an optional

spectrophotometer or densitometer (see “Calibration” on page 40).

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 printing using

four-color press conditions or presses with extra, custom plates.

•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.

•Determine whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the digital press or is ﬁrst

converted into the gamut of another device, such as a press standard. This feature is useful for making one device behave like another. It also allows you to evaluate 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 enables the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to simulate a custom press (or another digital press), as well as accurately print colors from a particular monitor or scanner. In addition, you can create customized ICC proﬁles for the digital press.

ColorWise also allows you to use any Status T densitometer by importing data in a standard ﬁle format (see “Importing Density Measurements” on page 85). In this case, it is important to note that the quality of the instrument used determines the quality of the calibration .

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

Using ColorWise Pro Tools

ColorWise Pro Tools gives you ﬂexible control of color printing by allowing you to calibrate the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, customize simulation and output proﬁles, manage proﬁles on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, manage spot colors, and set default values for ColorWise print options.

Using Calibrator

ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator allows you to calibrate the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 using one of a number of measurement methods. For information about calibrating the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, see page 40.

Using Color Editor

ColorWise Pro Tools Color Editor allows you to create custom proﬁles by editing existing simulation or output proﬁles, and then saving the changes as a new proﬁle. Use Color Editor to ﬁne-tune a proﬁle on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to meet your exact speciﬁcations. Access Color Editor directly, by clicking its icon in the ColorWise Pro Tools main window, or indirectly, through the Proﬁle Manager.

NOTE: You cannot edit source proﬁles. Only simulation and output proﬁles can

be customized.

TO USE COLOR EDITOR

1 Start ColorWise Pro Tools and connect to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

2 Click Color Editor.

Simulation lists the simulation proﬁles resident on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. Output lists the output proﬁles resident on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

TO USE PROFILE MANAGER

1 Start ColorWise Pro Tools and connect to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

2 Click Proﬁle Manager.

For more information about Proﬁle Manager, see ColorWise Pro Tools Help.

For information about the Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle option, see the following section.

Setting the default proﬁles

Use Proﬁle Manager to set a default RGB source proﬁle, simulation proﬁle, or output proﬁle. The default RGB source and simulation proﬁles that you set are applied to all print jobs sent to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, unless you override them using print options. The same is true of the default output proﬁle that you set, unless you select the Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle option.

The Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle option indicates whether or not the output proﬁles predeﬁned for the media types in your print jobs are applied automatically. For more information, see the following section.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

Using media-deﬁned output proﬁles

Instead of having Proﬁle Manager apply a default output proﬁle to all your print jobs, you can keep the Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle option selected. This option automatically applies the output proﬁle predeﬁned for the media type in your print job. If your job contains mixed media, this option can apply different output proﬁles predeﬁned for the different media.

The Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle option in Proﬁle Manager is selected by default. It is applied to all print jobs sent to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, unless a user overrides it for an individual job by changing settings in the printer driver.

TO USE MEDIA-DEFINED OUTPUT PROFILES

1 Start ColorWise Pro Tools and click Proﬁle Manager.

2 Select Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle in the Output bar of Proﬁle Manager.

Changing the setting for the Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁle option in Proﬁle Manager automatically changes the same setting in Color Setup. For more information, see

“Using Color Setup” on page 39.

Using Spot-On

Spot-On allows you to adjust and manage lists of spot colors and their CMYK equivalents. The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values are known as Spot Color Dictionaries. Spot-On allows you to maintain multiple Spot Color Dictionaries for each output proﬁle on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

NOTE: To use the Spot-On features with named colors, you must enable the Spot Color

Matching print option. For more information about this option, see page 67.

NOTE: Spot colors identiﬁed by names are printed with their deﬁned CMYK values.

The edits to the output proﬁle made with Color Editor do not affect how spot colors print.

Starting Spot-On

To use Spot-On, you must specify the output proﬁle associated with the Spot Color Dictionary that you want to edit.

If you select Output proﬁle X and redeﬁne PANTONE 123 from 30%M to 50%M using Spot-On, you will get 50%M when you print a job with Output proﬁle X. If you print a job with Output proﬁle Y, you will get the original value. If you select Output proﬁle X and create a custom color named “My Purple” and deﬁne it as 80C 40M, ColorWise automatically calculates the Lab values using Output proﬁle X and creates new CMYK values for use with Output proﬁle Y.

NOTE: The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 allows only one user to connect to Spot-On at a time.

1 Current output proﬁle 2 Output proﬁles to link
