CMYK simulation
You can specify a press simulation target and a press simulation method for the job
with print options (see the
Color Guide ). The CMYK Simulation setting affects all
CMYK color data sent by the illustration application.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated for an offset press
standard, apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For example, for
images separated for SWOP, choose SWOP-Coated as the CMYK Simulation
setting.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated according to the color
characteristics of a custom ICC profile (not a press standard profile), select the
corresponding profile from the CMYK Simulation Profile print option on the
Color Server.

:
The workflow described earlier requires that the profile used for the separation
of CMYK images in the document also resides on the Color Server. For more
information on downloading CMYK Simulation profiles to the Color Server with
ColorWise Pro Tools, see the
Color Guide .
Adobe Illustrator for Windows and Mac OS
The following sections provide guidelines for working with versions 9.x and 8.x
of Adobe Illustrator.
Illustrator 9.x color settings
Illustrator 9.x uses a sophisticated color management system that can handle both
RGB and CMYK colors for a variety of color-managed workflows. By customizing
color settings, you can specify the amount of color management you want to use while
working in Illustrator 9.x. These color settings include:
Working spaces
—Default color spaces to use when working with RGB and CMYK
documents. ICC color profiles describe the gamut and color characteristics of these
working spaces.
Color management policies
—Instructions that tell Illustrator 9.x what to do when it
encounters color data from a color space other than the specified working space.
