Color features in Command WorkStation
Command WorkStation includes color-management tools and color-related features.
•
Color management
Command WorkStation allows you to set the default settings of the ColorWise print options for the Fiery ES.
These default settings are applied to all print jobs sent to the Fiery ES, unless a user overrides them for an
individual job.
•
Profiles
Command WorkStation allows you to manage all of the ICC profiles used in Fiery ES workflows. You can also
create custom profiles by editing existing CMYK source or output profiles and saving them as new profiles.
The AutoGray feature allows you to adjust the gray balance of output profiles.
•
Calibrator
For consistent color, calibrate the Fiery ES on a regular basis. Command WorkStation includes an easy-to-use
calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using a measurement instrument.
Command WorkStation also allows you to use any Status T densitometer by importing data in a standard file
format. In this case, it is important to note that the quality of the instrument used determines the quality of the
calibration.
Color features in Fiery Productivity Package
If Fiery Productivity Package is activated on the Fiery ES, additional color features are available in Command
WorkStation.
For more information, see
Fiery Productivity Package .
•
Spot-On (spot colors)
Spot-On is a spot color (named color) manager. You can adjust and manage lists of spot colors and their CMYK
equivalents. The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values are known as spot color dictionaries. Spot-On
allows you to edit spot color definitions on the Fiery ES and create custom spot color definitions and dictionaries.
Spot-On is also required for spot color overprinting, when a job contains overlapping spot-color objects.
•
Configurable auto trapping
Trapping is a technique where the size of objects is modified so that colors printed next to each other overlap
slightly, to prevent white spaces between two colors. The Fiery ES has default trapping values that are optimized
for the printer using regular paper.
The configurable auto trapping feature provides you with advanced settings for the
Auto trapping
print option. If
the default trapping values do not provide the results necessary for the media that you use, you can modify the
values to meet your requirements.
•
ImageViewer
ImageViewer allows you to soft proof and adjust colors in a job before it is printed. You can use the preview in
ImageViewer to verify job placement, orientation, and content, as well as general color accuracy.
