About color printing
Color server
Color servers are connected to your network and drive the color
output devices (digital color presses/printers). Each time an image
is sent to a printer, the color server connected to the printer
converts, or rasterizes, the data in the file into dots which can be
printed by the target output device. Each dot is assigned a specific
location, color, and density level.
Color servers optimize the color of a document by manipulating
the dots which make up the image so that it matches the gamut of
the printer.
Image quality functions typically associated with a color server
include:
• Processing while printing which allows the color server to
concurrently submit pages to the output device while
processing new images for printing.
• Advanced text and line art quality controls provide anti-aliasing
capabilities for high-quality text and graphics.
• Color Management System facilitates optimizations of images
and offset ink/toner simulations.
• Document storage keeps the rasterized file resident on the
color server for future processing.
For further information, refer to the documentation that came with
your color server.
