1-5 Managing color on the Fiery X3e
Fiery X3e color print option
Black Overprint Style
Text/Text & Graphics
Spot Color Matching
On/Off
(Default in Setup or ColorWise Pro Tools)
Specifies whether black overprinting should apply to text only or to both text
and graphics. For this option to take effect, the Black Overprint option must
be set to On (see
driver only.)
The On setting enables Fiery X3e-defined matching of spot colors to their best
CMYK equivalents. Off instructs the Fiery X3e to match color output to a
CMYK combination specified by the source application for the document (see
page 1-14). (This feature is available with the PostScript driver only.)
Detailed explanations of how these and other settings affect your print jobs are
provided in subsequent sections of this chapter.

Rendering styles

The Rendering Style option specifies a CRD for color conversions. To control the
appearance of images, such as prints from office applications or RGB photographs
from Adobe Photoshop, select the appropriate Rendering Style. The Fiery X3e allows
you to select from the four rendering styles currently found in industry standard ICC
profiles.
