The role of Color Management when importing files
Each device in the workflow (monitor, scanner, software, printer, vinyl printer, etc.) operates
within a certain color space which can produce a certain gamut or range of colors. The RGB
(red, green, and blue) and CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) color models are examples
of color spaces. The gamuts of these color spaces are dissimilar and different devices produce
slightly different gamuts within the same color model. Even among brands of monitors,
scanners, or printers, the color spaces vary. Each graphics program also handles color spaces in
its own way.
OMEGA Color Management is designed to show you on the screen what your colors will look
like once they are printed or output to a plotter. It is easier to change a color on-screen as
opposed to changing it after it is printed.
OMEGA Color Management is carefully configured to provide good results with little
intervention from the user. See “Practical Hands-on Color Management” for quick and easy
steps to configure Color Management for your workflow.
Tips for success
♦
Use a high quality monitor profile rather than a generic monitor profile. A generic
monitor profile can represent colors brighter than they output.
♦
If you have not created a custom monitor profile with the MonacoSENSOR, use the
color profile supplied by the monitor manufacturer or the GERBER (GSP) Default
Monitor profile.
♦
If you are creating graphics for a Gerber printer in OMEGA or any other program,
choose the same printer profile for the Gerber Imaging Device.
♦
The option to Use these settings in all OMEGA programs in the Color Management
dialog box sets the current settings in any OMEGA program. (This is the default
setting.) If you turn off this option, Color Management operates separately in
Composer and in GSPPlot. Different Color Management settings in Composer and
GSPPlot may create unexpected results.
♦
The Image Source profile selected in Color Management may affect the conversion
from spot to process colors. If you do not know the exact Image Source profile, choose
Gerber (GSP) SWOP CMYK and Gerber (GSP) RGB as default profiles.
♦
When importing RGB raster files they are converted to CMYK in Composer. You may
get a speckled white background. Use the Black /White Filter in the Color
Management dialog box to remove the specks. The Black White Filter is designed to
alter near white colors to be pure white (C-0, M-0, Y-0, K-0), and alter near black colors
to be solid black (C-100, M-100, Y-100, K-100). See “Color Management FAQs.”
