1-9 Managing color on the ColorPASS
• The Match Copy setting bypasses ColorPASS calibration to simulate the color of a
copy produced by the copier. Use this setting when you print images scanned with
the Fiery Scan plug-in set to Match Copy.

CMYK Simulation Method

The CMYK Simulation Method setting specifies the quality of simulation to perform.
• applies one-dimensional transfer curves that adjust output density only.
Quick
• provides a more complete and accurate simulation by applying colorimetric
Full
transformations that adjust hue as well as output density. The Full Simulation
option also maintains the integrity of the black channel by adjusting it
independently. This is especially important for images separated using an optimized
black generation (UCR/GCR) setting, either from a scan or from within an
application such as Photoshop.
Output Profile
The output profile is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected
profile is right for your job. The default output profile consists of both a profile for
your copier, describing its color characteristics, and a calibration target that describes
the expected behavior of the copier.
The output profiles provided with the ColorPASS correspond to one of several
different gradation smoothing calibration sets. You should select an output profile
based on the desired gradation smoothing property, which determines the amount of
smoothing the ColorPASS applies to your print job to eliminate banding. Coarse
provides more gradation smoothing than Fine. There are two sets of output profiles, A
and B, which you can calibrate for different paper stocks. The output profiles 5000 A
Fine, 5000A Coarse, 5000 A Off, 5000 B Fine, 5000 B Coarse, and 5000 B Off
correspond to the gradation smoothing property, respectively.
In certain cases you may wish to customize the default output profile using the
ColorWise Pro Tools Color Editor to achieve particular color effects (see page 4-12). If
so, the new customized output profile is applied to all data in the print job. Changing
only the output profile does not affect its associated calibration target (since the target
is based on a copier model). If you wish, you can edit D-Max values of the calibration
target separately (see page 4-7).
