Key features of ColorWise

ColorWise is the colour management system (CMS) built into the ES3640e MFP
and designed to provide both casual and expert users with the best colour output for a
variety of purposes. The ColorWise default settings provide high-quality out-of-box
colour from many Windows and Mac OS applications. This allows casual users to
achieve quality output without knowing about or changing any colour settings on the
ES3640e MFP.
For consistent colour, calibrate the ES3640e MFP on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro
Tools include an easy-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using either the
scanning unit that is part of the ES3640e MFP or a spectrophotometer or
densitometer (see Chapter
ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular
needs, you can:
• Set the behavior of CMYK printing to emulate DIC, Euroscale, and SWOP offset
press standards.
• Match PANTONE and other spot colours for the best match when printed using
four-colour press conditions or when printed using presses with extra, custom plates.
• Select a colour rendering dictionary (CRD), also called a rendering style, for RGB
printing. CRDs allow for rich, saturated printing of presentation graphics; smooth,
accurate printing of photographs; and relative or absolute colorimetric rendering for
specialized needs.
• Define the source of incoming RGB colour data for better screen matching and
provide for better colour conversion of RGB data with no source information.
