CMYK Simulation Method

The CMYK Simulation Method allows you to define your preferred
CMYK-to-CMYK conversion technique.
• applies one-dimensional transfer curves to adjust output densities in the cyan,
Quick
magenta, yellow, and black channels. This technique leads to pleasant color output
from your copier because pure primary colors are not "contaminated" by other
colorants. While it is the fastest simulation method and perfect for drafts, avoid
using it for final documents that will be used as press proofs. Other techniques offer
more color simulation accuracy, which is expected by proofing applications.

transformations. Hues are preserved, even for primary colors. The Gray Component
Replacement (GCR) level that was specified in the original (source) document is also
preserved. Full (Source GCR) is therefore an excellent simulation technique for the
highest quality press proofing applications.
•
Full (Output GCR)
colorimetric transformations. Hues are preserved, even for primary colors. With this
method, the
original document is not preserved. Instead, all CMYK data is reseparated using the
GCR level specified by the Output Profile. This simulation technique is similar to
traditional ICC color matching methods and is appropriate for most documents
designed for the press, but reproduced on your copier.
This feature is not available with the PCL driver.
