  • Page 117: Working With Color

    Working with Color This chapter introduces concepts that are basic to color theory. You will en- counter some of these concepts (such as hue, saturation, and brightness) when you work with color in applications; others provide useful background in- formation. Color is a complex topic, so consider this a starting point for experimentation and further research.
  • Page 118: The Properties Of Color

    The properties of color What we call “color” is really a perceptual ability unique to humans and a small number of animal species. Color theory is an attempt to systematize the properties of color perception, which by nature is relative and change- able.
  • Page 119: Hue, Saturation, And Brightness

    6.1 The properties of color This is possible because of a phenomenon peculiar to color vision called metamerism. The eye does not distinguish individual wavelengths of light. Therefore, different combinations of spectral light can produce the same per- ceived color. 6.1.3 Hue, saturation, and brightness A color can be described in terms of three varying characteristics:...

    6.1 The properties of color Subtractive (CMY and CMYK) color The subtractive color model is used in color printing, and in color photo- graphic prints and transparencies. While the additive color model simulates the visible spectrum of color by adding light of three primary hues, the sub- tractive color model uses a “white”...
  • Page 121 The Xerox DocuColor 4 LP/CP is specially designed to perform gamut map- ping at high speed with high quality results. It provides these color manage- ment features automatically, using either built-in default settings or settings that you specify for a particular print job.
  • Page 122: Controlling Printed Color

    Controlling printed color When working with color materials, whether they be presentations, illustra- tions, or complicated page designs, you make aesthetic decisions about the colors you use. Once you have decided on your goal, you then need to real- ize it in print. Your color printing system becomes an ally in this creative process to the extent that you can get results that are predictable.
  • Page 123: Maintenance

    6.2 Controlling printed color 6.2.3 Maintenance Problems such as streaking and insufficient or excessive amounts of one or more Dry Inks arise when a print device does not receive periodic mainte- nance. In addition to having it serviced regularly, monitor the color produc- tion of your printer/copier by making standard test prints at regular inter- vals.
  • Page 124 6.2 Controlling printed color Gray Balance The second VISUALCAL page, “Gray Balance,” provides the basis for cal- culating a “neutral gray balance,” that is, a CMY gray that as closely as pos- sible matches a pure K (BlacK) gray produced by the printer’s engine. This page consists of rows of CMY gray patches on a field of gray produced solely from black.

If your test page appears color balanced but too light, enter a higher value for this value.

    6.3 Using color effectively The color wheel simplifies color relationships for the purpose of clarity, show- ing only saturated or pure colors. Adding the myriad variations of each hue to the palette (more or less saturated, darker or lighter) creates a wealth of possibilities.
  • Page 133 6.3 Using color effectively When using color text, keep in mind that small font sizes typically do not print in color with the same sharpness as in black. In most applications, black text prints exclusively in black Dry Ink while color text usually prints with two or more Dry Inks.
