What is Color management?
Definition
The color management settings help you to reproduce the colors of your input as precisely
as possible on the printed output.
With the color management settings you define how to convert the color-information of
the file you want to print (input color space; RGB or CMYK color space) to the output
color space of the Océ ColorWave 600 (CMYK color space). This conversion can require
approximations in order to preserve the image's most important color qualities.
To be able to reproduce colors it is important to define the following.
• Input profile / Standardization
• Color feel / Rendering intents
• Output profile
