Page 19: The Properties Of Color
1-1 The properties of color This chapter provides information about: Chapter 1: Introduction • The properties of color to Color • Traditional color printing and Colorwriter printing Printing • Controlling printed color and the Colorwriter The properties of color Color theory is an attempt to systematize the properties of color perception, which by nature is relative and changeable.
Page 20: Cie Color Model
1-2 The properties of color the human eye which can, up to a point, adjust to the different light sources. However, colored objects appear different under tungsten light than they do under sunlight because of the different spectral makeup of the two light sources. The mixture of light wavelengths emitted by a light source is reﬂected selectively by different objects, and the mixture of light reﬂected appears as different colors.
Page 21: Hue, Saturation, And Brightness
A familiar device that uses this color model is the computer monitor (plate 6). Monitors have red, green, and blue phosphors that emit varying amounts of light to display a given color. Scanners create digital representations of colors by measuring their red, green, and blue components through colored ﬁlters.
Page 22 Digital color printers such as the Colorwriter use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners. The CMYK colorants used both in offset printing and in digital color printers are to some degree transparent. When one layer of colorant is applied on top of another, you see the effect of both.
Page 23: Printer Gamut
1-5 The properties of color ™ as Adobe Illustrator are geared toward specifying color for offset printing using process and spot colors. Many applications allow you to specify the screening used for each printing plate. Screen frequency settings are generally ignored by the PostScript interpreter when it processes your document for the Colorwriter.
Page 24: Traditional Color Printing And Colorwriter Printing
By streamlining the process of color printing, the Colorwriter makes short print runs economically feasible. In contemporary offset lithographic printing, digital ﬁles from desktop computers are output to an imagesetter, which creates ﬁlm separations. The ﬁlm is then used to make a prepress proof, which is an accurate predictor of the ﬁnal print job, and...
Page 25: Controlling Printed Color
1-7 Controlling printed color Controlling printed color The following factors affect printer consistency, as well as color ﬁdelity and overall output quality: Maintenance and supplies The paper and toner used in a printer affect printed color. For best results, use the paper and toner recommended by the manufacturer of the printer.
Page 26: The Role Of Color Management
1-8 Controlling printed color If you have a densitometer, you can measure your printed output to monitor the range of output densities. Where color accuracy and consistency are crucial, regular calibration of the printer is advisable. In this manual, software or features that are part of the Professional Color Kit (PCK) are indicated with a small PCK icon.
Page 27 PANTONE Color libraries for coated and uncoated paper. CRDs—color management on the Colorwriter LSR 2000 Because the Colorwriter is a PostScript Level 2 printing device, it has the ability to use custom CRDs (color rendering dictionaries). CRDs are used for converting RGB data sent to the printer into CMYK data used by the printer’s print engine,...
Page 28 1-10 Controlling printed color You can choose from four color rendering styles, each of which has a different way of translating color image data to the CMYK color space of your printer. Choosing the appropriate color rendering style will give you the best results within the capabilities of your printer.
Page 29 1-11 Controlling printed color • Saving RGB EPS images from Adobe Photoshop and placing them in other applications If you work with RGB data in Photoshop for Macintosh or Windows, you can load Colorwriter separation tables to perform the same function as the CRDs built into the printer.
Page 30 1-12 Controlling printed color Colorwriter support for the PANTONE color matching system consists of the Macintosh and Windows PANTONE Reference Book for coated and uncoated papers, included with the user software. With the PANTONE Reference Book ﬁles, you can quickly print a book of PANTONE color simulations, accompanied by their CMYK percent values, on your Colorwriter.

Page 188: Replacing A Toner Cartridge
C-16 Replacing a toner cartridge Replacing a toner cartridge Each toner cartridge prints about 4,000 sheets of Letter- or A4-size paper, when toner coverage of the toner cartridge on the paper is at 4.5% dot ratio. This, however, does not mean all four of the toner cartridges will run out at the same time.
Page 189 C-17 Replacing a toner cartridge While pressing the rotary knob , turn it in the direction of the arrow until the markers for the color indicated by the message on the status panel appear on the rotary. When this is done, the rotary knob pops out and is locked . Make sure the rotary knob is locked and the two color markers are fully visible.
Page 190 C-18 Replacing a toner cartridge While holding the cartridge with one hand, slide it out as shown. Hold the cartridge with one hand from the end with the opening seal, insert it into the protective bag of the new cartridge and dispose of it. We recommend holding the used toner cartridge from the end with the opening seal to avoid getting your hands dirty.
Page 191 C-19 Replacing a toner cartridge Remove the two protective tapes. Place the toner cartridge on a ﬂat surface, then pull the sealing tape completely out in the indicated direction. The tape may break if not pulled out in this direction. Do not pull the sealing tape diagonally, as it may snap.

Page 194: Replacing The Silicone Oil Bottle
C-22 Replacing the silicone oil bottle Replacing the silicone oil bottle Silicone oil is used in the ﬁnal ﬁxing process before the paper comes out of the printer. To prevent toner offset caused by toner on the ﬁxing rollers, the upper roller remains in contact with the cleaning belt saturated with silicone oil supplied from the silicone oil bottle.
Page 195 C-23 Replacing the silicone oil bottle Peel off the seal from the new silicone oil bottle and put it on the old bottle. Do not shake the bottle or the oil may spill out. Insert the new bottle into the compartment with the label facing towards you and the spout on the right and facing down.
