Simple workflows
While this workflow lends some control over the color quality produced by the printer,
you should consider additional ColorWise color management, as described in the next
section.
Workflow 2 using ColorWise color management—standard workflow
Fiery 3850C servers are highly optimized for the specific printer they drive, and
ColorWise addresses many issues unique to your printer, including screens, individual
toner response, interactions among toners, natural smoothness of blends, and the
capability to render PANTONE and custom colors. The Fiery 3850C distinguishes
text and graphic from image elements, so the black channel information is preserved
while parameters used for CMYK color separations are maintained.
Conventional color management systems typically address only color conversions, and
they occupy your computer processor. When you use ColorWise, jobs leave your
computer faster to be processed more quickly on the Fiery 3850C.
The recommended standard color workflow (indicated by the black boxes in the
diagram below) uses ColorWise calibration and color management.
The Fiery 3850C comes into play near the end of the color workflow. To ensure the
colors you selected reach the Fiery 3850C and ColorWise in a usable form, you should
bypass any color management from applications and printer drivers. Keep in mind,
however, that color management from applications and printer drivers is fully
supported by ColorWise (see “Advanced workflows” on page 2-7).
You must print with the CMYK Simulation print option set to match the CMYK
color space in your application when you selected the colors. Any CMYK Simulation
setting applies calibration, so the response of the printer will appear to be stable.
