Key features of ColorWise

ColorWise is the color management system (CMS) built into the Fiery ES 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 applications.
ColorWise default settings allow casual users to achieve quality output without knowing about or changing any color
settings on the Fiery ES. ColorWise also provides controls to allow expert users to obtain the best color output.
Depending on your particular needs, you can:
•
Set the behavior of CMYK printing to emulate offset press standards.
•
Match PANTONE and other spot colors for the best match when printing using four-color press conditions or
presses with extra colorants.
•
Select a rendering intent for RGB printing. Rendering intents 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 color conversion of RGB data with no source
information.
•
Determine whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the printer 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 for
RGB data. It also allows you to evaluate the appearance of an RGB file under different printing conditions
without having to convert the RGB file to CMYK first.
ColorWise color management (ColorWise) offers an open color architecture, allowing users to customize the Fiery
ES 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. Note that ICC specification version 4 profiles (profile version
4.2.0.0) are supported as well as version 2. Downloading ICC profiles to the Fiery ES enables the Fiery ES to simulate
a custom press (or another printer), as well as accurately print colors from a particular monitor or scanner. In
addition, you can create customized ICC profiles for the Fiery ES.
