Simple and Advanced Workflows
The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are SWOP in the US, Euroscale in
Europe, and DIC in Japan—choices that respect the color standard for each region. If
colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated printer, set CMYK Simulation
to None.
See the table on page 1-2 for a list and descriptions of ColorWise print options that
affect CMYK, RGB, PANTONE, and other colors.
Workflow 3 bypassing ColorWise—not recommended
Bypassing ColorWise color management, while an option, is not a recommended
workflow. When you bypass ColorWise, you must choose colors using only CMYK
formulas designed specifically for your printer. The Fiery 3850C still prints pages
using your PostScript files, and drives the printer and its accessories, but it does not
perform CMYK color transformation, nor does it consider the calibration of the
printer. Calibration is needed in order to get consistent output, since the color
response from your printer varies significantly depending on wear, heat, humidity, and
service.
The diagram below indicates that no modifications are made to colors in this
workflow.
Turn off color management in your application
Generally, when printing to the Fiery 3850C, you should disable color management in
the application to ensure the Fiery 3850C receives color data properly and prints it
accurately.
