The two choices available for this option determine whether RGB data is
converted into the full gamut of the copier/printer (Output) or whether it is
first converted into the gamut of another digital printer or a press standard
(Simulation). This feature is helpful for making one device behave like
another for RGB data. For example, if a high-quality ICC profile is available
for another print device, the copier/printer can simulate the behavior of that
device.
RGB Separation is also useful for prepress applications. For example, it lets
you experiment with the appearance of an RGB scan under different press
printing conditions without having to convert the RGB data to CMYK data
for each printing condition. When the desired printing condition is found,
you can then convert the file to CMYK, if desired, using the same CMYK
simulation profile that was used during the experimentation.
The RGB Separation print option should be used in conjunction with

the Output Profile or CMYK Simulation Profile print options.

CMYK Simulation Profile
The CMYK Simulation Profile print option allows you to print press proofs
or simulations. This setting specifies the offset press standard or other color
printing device that you want to simulate. This option affects CMYK data
only.
On Windows 95/98, you can also view an unlimited number of custom
Quick and Full simulations created using ColorWise Pro Tools. On
Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Mac OS computers, you can view up to
10 Quick and 10 Full custom simulations. The number of custom
simulations is limited by the disk space on the iR C2100/2100S.
