Managing colour on the ES3640e MFP
To modify printing behavior, do any of the following:
• Select ColorWise options for an individual print job using menus that appear in the
printer driver.
• Select most ColorWise options as server defaults from the “Color Setup” application
in ColorWise Pro Tools (see
). Defaults can also be set from Setup, as
described in the
Chapter 4. These defaults will apply to all
subsequent print jobs unless you override them.
• Select some ColorWise options, particularly default
ICC profile
settings and
calibration options, from ColorWise Pro Tools. These options include default
Simulation Profile (see
), CMYK Simulation Method (see
Appear in Driver as (see
), default Source Profile (see
), RGB
), and associated calibration set (see
Applications can generate colour data for the ES3640e MFP in many different
colour
spaces
. The most common type of colour data produced from
office applications
is
RGB, while prepress applications generally produce
CMYK
data. Desktop applications
can also generate
spot colours
, such as PANTONE colours. To complicate matters, a
single page may contain a mix of RGB, CMYK, and spot colours. The ES3640e MFP
allows users to control the printing of these mixed-colour documents with features that
apply specifically to RGB, CMYK, or spot colour data. ES3640e MFP colour
management generates CMYK data to be sent to the printer.
