Fiery 3850C Color Management
With RGB Source set to None, PostScript RGB data that contains a source color
space definition is converted using the CRD specified by the Rendering Style option
(see page 1-4). Non-PostScript RGB data and PostScript RGB data that does not
contain a source color space definition is converted using a general undercolor
removal conversion method.
CMYK Simulation Profile
The CMYK Simulation Profile print option allows you to print press proofs or
simulations. This option specifies the offset press standard or other color printing
device you want to simulate. This option affects CMYK data only.
The number of custom simulations is limited by the disk space on the Fiery 3850C.
The CMYK Simulation Profile setting you specify depends on the press standard for
which the CMYK data was separated.
• For images separated using a custom separation (such as a separation produced with
an ICC profile), choose the corresponding profile on the Fiery 3850C with the
CMYK Simulation Profile setting.
• For images separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation Profile
setting.

To properly simulate a printed image that was separated through the use of
an ICC profile, the same profile must be present on the Fiery 3850C. For more
information about downloading ICC profiles to the Fiery 3850C, see “Downloading
profiles” on page 4-5.
Output profile
The output profile is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected
profile is the right one for your job. The default output profile consists of both a profile
for your printer, describing its color characteristics, and a calibration target that
describes the expected behavior of the printer at a particular print resolution
(600
x
600 dpi or 1200
x
1200 dpi).
In certain cases, you may want to customize the default output profile using the
ColorWise Pro Tools Color Editor to achieve particular color effects (see page 4-11).
If you do so, the new customized output profile is applied to all data in the print job.
