Group 2 - Color Options

Overview

This tab gives you access to all of the color management controls available in

PowerDriver

. Utilizing the power of the

Ricoh GX7000 Driver

technology, the

PowerDriver

interprets bitmap and vector elements in a similar manner.

Vector and Bitmap Explanation

Bitmaps

are a grid of pixels.

Bitmaps

come from digital cameras, scanners, and

photo CDs.

Bitmaps

can also be created in applications like

Corel PhotoPaint

Adobe PhotoShop

. Bitmaps have file extensions like

GIF

JPG

BMP

, and

TIF

Vector

components consist of shapes, curves, lines, and text. They are created in programs

such as

CorelDraw

and

Adobe Illustrator

. Higher end programs like

CorelDraw

can

combine

Vector

and

Bitmaps

into a single image.

PowerDriver

will color correct all

bitmaps files and vector components as bitmap images.

Bitmap Options

• No Color Management –

To unleash the power of the

PowerDriver Software

, the

color management will need to be turned off (over-ridden) in the

Graphic Software

(Instructions on how to do this are provided in

Appendix A

Pages 20

thru

covering

Corel & Adobe Applications

.) This facilitates optimum color management

SubliJet inks

. If you select the

“No Color Management”

option, all color

management will have to be accomplished using the

Graphic Design Software

, i. e.

the

Corel &/or the Adobe Applications

• Saturated -

images that contain saturated colors.

• Realistic -

skin tones or highlights.

• Intense -

Select this setting to get the most intense color output possible.

• Grayscale -

This setting is intended for use with grayscale images.

• ColorSure Checkbox -

enhancement is not affected by color setting. A ColorSure spot color will ALWAYS

print the same. (Please see Appendix B, for an overview of ColorSure.)

ColorSure Options

• Print Palette Button –

Prints the

ColorSure Palette

for the selected substrate.

ColorSure

is a tool for reproducing exact spot colors. The two main components

)

The Transferred Palette

, and

The CorelDraw

Corel PhotoPaint

, and

Adobe swatches

. For a complete description on how to use

ColorSure

to get

perfect spot colors, see

Appendix B
