Practical Hands-On Color Management
OMEGA Color Management is designed to show you on-screen what your colors will look like
once they are printed or output to a plotter. It is easier to change a color on-screen as opposed to
changing it after it is printed.
GERBER OMEGA Color Management is carefully configured to provide good results with little
intervention from the user. You don't have to know how to use it; it just works! Simply follow
the steps.
Tip: This chapter provides the basic steps to quickly set up OMEGA Color Management. To
learn more about Color Management, see Help.
