Office Applications
Although there are no color management options within office applications, color
conversions do occur when you import images or page elements that were not defined
in RGB. To avoid such conversions with imported files, use the EPS file format for
artwork that is to be imported into office applications.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by RGB Source and Rendering
Style settings.
Tip for advanced users
If you place multiple RGB images, mixed non-photographic and photographic, a
single CRD may not be suitable for all the images. In this case, you may want the
photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this, save the image
in CMYK mode with a pixel-editing application such, as Photoshop, and perform
color correction. Save the image as a Photoshop EPS and import it into the document.
Selecting options when printing
There are few differences among office applications with regard to Fiery 3850C
printing. The instructions in this chapter apply to all office applications. Use the
instructions in Chapter 1 to specify print options and color management settings. To
specify these options, you must use a PostScript Level 2 (or later) printer driver, such as
an Adobe PostScript Printer Driver.
Because office applications send RGB data to the Fiery 3850C, your choices of
RGB Source and Rendering Style settings are important. Be sure to specify the
appropriate CRD for the color effect you want (see “Rendering styles” on page 1-4).
Output profiles
All color data in the job is affected by the output profile on the Fiery 3850C. This
profile may be the one designed for your printer and shipped with the Fiery 3850C, or
it may be a custom profile created at your site (see page 1-6). If necessary, print the Test
Page to see which profile is currently resident on the Fiery 3850C.
