output profile of your calibrated Color Server or when you use less efficient color
management from the desktop (such as ColorSync or ICM).
In this workflow, colors are modified only at the calibration stage, as indicated by the
black box in the following diagram.

While this workflow lends some control over the color quality produced by the
Color Server, consider additional ColorWise color management, as described in the
following section.
Workflow 2 using ColorWise color management—standard workflow
The Color Server is highly optimized for the specific printer it supports, and
ColorWise addresses many issues unique to your printer, including screens, individual
toner response, interactions among toners, natural smoothness of blends, and the
capability to render spot and custom colors. The Color Server distinguishes text and
graphics from image elements, so the black channel information is preserved while
parameters used for CMYK color separations are maintained.
Conventional color management systems typically address only color conversions, and
they occupy your computer processor. When you use ColorWise, jobs leave your
computer faster to be processed more quickly on the Color Server.
The recommended standard color workflow (indicated by the black boxes in the
following diagram) uses ColorWise calibration and color management.
