The type of print job and the final output device—Fiery or offset
press—determines the workflow that allows you to achieve the
best results. For information about choosing workflows, see

Using ColorWise and application color
management
The Fiery color management system,
is designed to
provide both casual and expert users the best color output for a
variety of purposes. Several applications also provide their own
color management system. This guide describes how to optimize
print output using both ColorWise color management and
application color management.
The Fiery can intelligently manage the printed appearance of
. You can allow the Fiery to manage color
for most color printing jobs without adjusting any settings.
A desktop (host-based) color management system uses
to convert colors from one device gamut to another (see
). The color data is converted when it passes from one
application to another or when the job is sent to the printer; thus,
the processing occurs on your computer, as opposed to the Fiery.
Conventional color management systems typically address only
color conversions, and they occupy your computer processor.
When you use ColorWise, jobs leave your computer faster, and
are processed more quickly on the Fiery.
The advantages to ColorWise color management versus desktop
(application) color management include:
• Relieving your computer from performing additional processing.
Delaying color conversions until the color data reaches the Fiery
frees your computer so that you can continue working, and color
conversions on the Fiery are, in most cases, much faster than
similar conversions on a host computer.
