CMYK simulation settings can be used to
simulate popular offset printing press
standards.
Select SWOP to simulate printing to a
standard American offset press; Euroscale
to simulate a European offset press, or DIC
to simulate a standard Japanese offset press.
For more information see page 5-20.
By default your printer is set to print
documents in color (CMYK). Select
Monochrome to optionally print documents
in grayscale.
Before an RGB image can be printed, the
file's color data must be converted to the
printer's CMYK color space. Color
rendering dictionaries apply optimal gamut
mapping methods to documents that contain
text, photographs and illustrations. The
Photographic CRD optimizes the range of
colors on the printer to produce the best
results for photographic or bitmapped
images.
The Presentation CRD optimizes the output
of pure, saturated colors such as those used
in business presentations.
The OHT (Transparency) CRD improves
the correspondence between monitor colors
and printed color on transparency paper.
For additional information regarding Color
Rendering Dictionaries, see page 5-19.
Note: Color rendering dictionaries cannot
be used with CMYK files. Note also that PS
Color Matching must be specified in the
Print dialog box to enable the use of CRDs.
