Color Reference Guide for C9800 - 15
ColorWise uses ICC profiles to convert colors to the device gamut or simulate other
devices, such as an offset printing press. ColorWise manages color conversions for all
users printing to the Fiery from Windows and Mac OS computers. It allows users to
follow a simple workflow with minimal intervention using robust default settings,
while giving advanced users the control and precision they need.
Using ColorWise color management tools
Your Fiery user software includes several types of color reference pages that allow you
to see the range of colors that can be printed on your printer. For predictable color, use
the color reference pages when defining the color in your document.
The resources available are:
• RGB Color Reference—a Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file that
allow you to view the colors available in the standard palettes of office applications
and to see how those colors print on the Fiery (see
“Using color matching tools with
office applications” on page 3-24).
• CMYK Color Reference—an 11-page downloadable PostScript file of CMYK color
patches (see “Using the CMYK Color Reference” on page 4-29).
• Process Simulation of PANTONE Solid Coated Colors—a 19-page downloadable
PostScript file of color patches showing CMYK equivalents of PANTONE Coated
colors. This file prints differently depending on the setting of the Spot Color
Matching option (see
“Using the PANTONE reference” on page 4-29).
In addition, you can print RGB, CMY, and PANTONE color charts from the Fiery.
