Key features of ColorWise

ColorWise is the color management system (CMS)
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 X3e.
For consistent color, calibrate the Fiery X3e on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro Tools
include an easy-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using either the
scanning unit that is part of the copier or an optional
densitometer (see Chapter
ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular
needs, you can:
• Set the behavior of CMYK
press standards.
• Match PANTONE and other
four-color press conditions or when printed using presses with extra, custom plates.
• Select a color rendering dictionary
printing. CRDs allow for rich, saturated printing of
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.
• Define whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the copier or whether
it is first converted into the gamut of another device, such as a press standard. This
feature is very helpful for making one device behave like another. It is also useful for
evaluating the appearance of the RGB file under different printing conditions
without having to reprocess the RGB data each time.
