By specifying the appropriate settings for each print option, you can obtain the expected results for your jobs. About this chapter This chapter provides an overview of the ColorWise management system, which controls color on the E100 (see... -
Page 13: Managing Color On The E100
OLOR RINT PTIONS Managing color on the E100 Applications allow you to generate color data for the E100 in many different color spaces. The most common type of color data produced from office applications is RGB, while prepress applications generally produce CMYK data. -
Page 14: Descriptions Of Colorwise Print Options
OLOR RINT PTIONS Descriptions of ColorWise print options The following sections provide detailed explanations of the ColorWise print options and how these options affect print jobs. Auto Trapping Trapping is a technique where the size of objects is modified so that colors printed next to each other overlap slightly, to prevent white spaces between two colors. -
Page 15: Black Overprint
OLOR RINT PTIONS Black Overprint The Black Overprint option allows you to specify whether or not black text or black text and graphics, defined as RGB=0, 0, 0, or as CMYK=0%, 0%, 0%, 100%, overprints colored backgrounds. • Black text overprints colored backgrounds, eliminating white gaps and reducing the Text: halo effect or misregistration of colors. -
Page 16: Black Text And Graphics
OLOR RINT PTIONS Black Text and Graphics The Black Text and Graphics option affects black text and vector graphics. Under most circumstances, set this option to Pure Black On. When Black Text and Graphics is set to Pure Black On, black colors generated by applications (for example, RGB=0, 0, 0 or CMYK=0%, 0%, 0%, 100%) are printed using black toner only. - Page 17 OLOR RINT PTIONS Use the Black Text and Graphics option only when printing composites, not when printing separations. Color Black Text and Graphics = Normal Black Text and Graphics = Pure Black On or Rich Black On RGB=0,0,0 RGB=0,0,0 is printed according to the definition RGB=0,0,0 is printed as K-only, using the black for RGB=0,0,0 in the output profile.
-
Page 18: Cmyk/Grayscale Processing Method
OLOR RINT PTIONS CMYK/Grayscale Processing Method The CMYK/Grayscale Processing Method allows you to define your preferred CMYK-to-CMYK conversion technique. • prints primary colors in a job (C only, M only, or Y only) as primary colors, Pure Primaries using only a single colorant. The result is pure looking primary colors, with minimal banding in gradients. -
Page 19: Cmyk/Grayscale Source Or Device Link
OLOR RINT PTIONS CMYK/Grayscale Source or Device Link The CMYK/Grayscale Source or Device Link print option allows you to print press proofs or simulations. This setting specifies the offset press standard or other color printing device that you want to simulate. This option affects CMYK data only. When you specify a setting other than Bypass Conversion or ColorWise Off for the CMYK/ Grayscale Source, the E100 overrides source color space... -
Page 20: Combine Separations
OLOR RINT PTIONS When you print with the ColorWise Off setting, make sure that the options you choose in your application do not cause the application to modify CMYK data. If you enable PostScript Color Management or include an embedded profile, the color data sent by the application is similar to Lab color. -
Page 21: Composite Overprint
OLOR RINT PTIONS Composite Overprint When overlapping objects are printed, the foreground object can either overprint or knock out the background object. With overprinting, the color of the background object shows through the foreground object where they overlap, and the resulting color is a combination of the colors of the two objects. -
Page 22: Gray (Rgb) And Gray (Cmyk)
OLOR RINT PTIONS Gray (RGB) and Gray (CMYK) When Gray (RGB) is enabled, any RGB color where R=G=B is printed using only black toner instead of processed black. Similarly, when Gray (CMYK) is enabled, any CMYK color where C=M=Y=0 and K=any value is printed using only black toner instead of processed black. You can choose to apply the Gray (RGB) or Gray (CMYK) option to either Text and Graphics or to Text, Graphics, and Images. -

OLOR RINT PTIONS 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. The Paper Simulation option has two settings: •... -
Page 24: Rgb Source Or Device Link
OLOR RINT PTIONS RGB Source or Device Link The RGB Source or Device Link setting allows you to define the characteristics of the RGB data in your document so that the appropriate color conversion occurs on the E100. Commonly used monitor color spaces are available from the printer driver and the E100. For others, use Command WorkStation to download custom monitor or scanner profiles. -
Page 25: Separate Rgb/Lab To Cmyk Source
OLOR RINT PTIONS Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source The Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source option determines how RGB colors (as well as Lab and XYZ colors) are converted to CMYK. The name of this option is meant to be descriptive, because the option defines the color spaces that are used by the E100 to “separate”... -
Page 26: Spot Color Matching
OLOR RINT PTIONS Spot Color Matching The Spot Color Matching option provides automatic matching of spot colors with their best CMYK equivalents. • The E100 uses a built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of spot colors your copier can produce. (New tables are generated when you add new output profiles.) With Spot-On, the E100 uses the CMYK matches determined through Spot-On (see page 52). -
Page 27: Substitute Colors
OLOR RINT PTIONS Substitute Colors Spot-On allows you to create a list of substitute colors. These are colors that, when called for in a document by their RGB or CMYK values, are substituted with a different color having the CMYK values from the Spot-On color dictionary. This permits exact color control and overrides individual RGB and CMYK colors. -
Page 28: Specifying Colorwise Print Options
OLOR RINT PTIONS Specifying ColorWise print options To modify E100 printing behavior, do any of the following: • Specify default values for ColorWise options in Color Setup in Command WorkStation. You can also set default values from E100 Setup, as described in Configuration and Setup. - Page 29 OLOR RINT PTIONS For the location of each print option, see the following table.

Page 30: Setting Default Values In Command Workstation
OLOR RINT PTIONS Setting default values in Command WorkStation Command WorkStation allows you to set the default values for the ColorWise print options and print settings for the E100. These settings are applied to all print jobs sent to the E100, unless a user overrides them for an individual job by changing settings in the printer driver. -
Page 31: Setting Print Options In The Printer Driver
OLOR RINT PTIONS Setting print options in the printer driver The printer driver writes a PostScript file containing the instructions generated by your application and the settings for the ColorWise print options you selected. The printer driver then sends the PostScript file to the E100. The E100 performs PostScript processing and color conversions and sends raster color data to the copier. - Page 32 OLOR RINT PTIONS Setting print options in Mac OS This section explains how to set color management print options with the printer drivers for Mac OS.

You can also create custom CMYK source or output profiles by editing an existing profile and then saving it as a new profile. -
Page 41: Calibration
ALIBRATION ALIBRATION Calibrating the E100 ensures consistent and reliable color output. Calibrate the E100 using the Calibrate feature in Command WorkStation with the copier’s built-in scanner, a densitometer or a spectrophotometer. Changing calibration has the potential to affect all jobs for all users, so consider limiting the number of people authorized to perform calibration. -
Page 42: Calibrating With Command Workstation
ALIBRATION Calibrating with Command WorkStation The Calibrate feature in Command WorkStation allows you to calibrate the E100 using the measurement method of your choice. The Calibrate feature is on the Tools tab under the General tab in the Device Center. For more information, see Command WorkStation Help. Click to start calibration Multiple users can be connected to one E100 with Command WorkStation, but only one user at a time can use the Calibrate feature. -
Page 43: Calibrating From The Copier Touch Panel
ALIBRATION Calibrating from the copier touch panel You can calibrate the E100 from the copier touch panel using ColorCal, without using Command WorkStation.

Page 49: Understanding Calibration
ALIBRATION Understanding calibration The following sections describe important concepts and suggestions for understanding calibration. An overview of calibration Calibration generates curves that adjust for the difference between the actual toner densities (measurements) and the response expected by the output profile. •... -
Page 50: Scheduling Calibration
ALIBRATION Even with a calibrated system, toner density is affected by the settings of copier, humidity, and temperature. Density also tends to drift over time. Uneven toner density on paper affects calibration results. Regular measurement detects day-to-day variations in density, gradation, and color reproduction, and calibration corrects them. -
Page 51: Checking Calibration Status
ALIBRATION Because printed output from the copier is very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, do not install the copier near a window, in direct sunlight, or near a heater or air conditioner. Paper is also sensitive to climate changes. Store it in a cool, dry, stable environment, and keep reams sealed until they are used. -
Page 52: Spot -O N
The Spot Color Matching print option automatically matches spot colors with their best CMYK equivalents so that spot colors can be simulated using the CMYK toner of the copier. However, you may want to adjust the default CMYK equivalents to achieve a better match for your specific printing conditions. -
Page 53: Where To Find Spot-On
Spot colors identified by names are printed with their defined CMYK values. Edits to an output profile made in Command WorkStation do not affect how spot colors print. The edits to a job made with the color adjustment features in ImageViewer affect all colors in the job, including spot colors. -
Page 54: Monitor Settings With Spot-On
Monitor settings with Spot-On Some Spot-On features require that a job be displayed with correct colors on your monitor. 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. -
Page 55: Uto Rapping Ustomization
RAPPING USTOMIZATION RAPPING USTOMIZATION Trapping is a technique where some objects are printed slightly larger or smaller than you have specified in an application, in order to prevent white edges around the objects. These white edges, or “halos,” can be caused by factors such as misregistration, the physical properties of the toners, and the stiffness of the media. -
Page 56: Printing With Auto Trapping
RAPPING USTOMIZATION Printing with Auto Trapping You can print a job with Auto Trapping enabled with or without customizing the trapping values first. O PRINT A JOB WITH RAPPING 1 Print the job from an application and set the print options.

Page 67: Postflight
OSTFLIGHT OSTFLIGHT The Postflight feature helps you determine why some printed jobs may not deliver expected color. Acting as a diagnostic and training tool for all users, it provides helpful global and object-specific information about how a job is actually received and processed by the E100. The Postflight feature is available with the Productivity Package option on the E100. -
Page 68: About Postflight
OSTFLIGHT About Postflight When the Postflight print option is set to values other than Off, it provides the following information to help you identify possible problems: Postflight Test Page, Postflight color- coded pages, and Postflight reports. Postflight Test Page You can print the Postflight Test Page alone or in combination with the color-coded pages. The Test Page is printed using the exact same media and global settings (such as calibration) as your job. -
Page 69: Postflight Reports
OSTFLIGHT Postflight reports You can print reports on color-coded pages, either alone or combined with the color-coded document. These reports are printed on the E100 default paper size (Letter for US, A4 for metric) and use the default calibrated color mode. The reports provide a document header with information (such as job name, date and time printed, and user name), a ColorWise global settings page, and object-specific settings pages. -
Page 70: Postflight Print Option
OSTFLIGHT A Postflight report contains only one page on global settings, and it can include only one Test Page. Therefore, Postflight cannot describe an entire job accurately unless all pages are printed with the same options and on the same media. This is the case, for instance, with Mixed Media jobs, because they can use multiple output profiles, up to one profile per media in the job. -
Page 71: Postflight Examples
OSTFLIGHT Postflight examples The following scenarios show how Postflight can be helpful to users who demand high color quality. To diagnose an unexpected color (see page Use Postflight to diagnose unexpected color in a job, or determine which print or calibration settings apply to a job. -
