Use the

CMYK workflow parameter to specify the required rendering intent for

CMYK elements. All printers, monitors, and scanners have a range of colors
(gamut) that they can output (or view, in the case of a scanner). If a color needs to
be output and is outside the gamut of the output device, it must be mapped to
another color that exists within the gamut.

Use rendering intent to compress out-of-gamut colors into the color capability of
the press you are using. You can select any rendering intent value for CMYK
elements from the

Rendering intent list. The default value for CMYK is Relative

Colorimetric.

In addition, you can emulate the paper tint and adjust the white point value of the
used paper stock. For example, if you want to simulate pink paper while using white
paper, use the corresponding emulation profile and select

Emulate source paper

tint.

The

CMYK workflow parameter is also used to specify the desired rendering intent

for CMYK elements.

To select CMYK workflow options:

1.

In the

CMYK Profile list, select the desired CMYK profile.

2.

In the

Rendering intent list, select the desired option.

3.

To emulate the original paper tint, select the

Emulate paper tint check box.

4. Select the

Preserve pure colors check box to preserve pure cyan, magenta,

yellow, and black during transformation.

Spot Workflow

By default, the Spire CX260 searches the spot color dictionary for the correct value
each time there is a spot color with a recognized name.

Note: The system emulates the selected option during the RIP process.
GCR and CMYK emulation do not affect the processed job.

Notes:

If you selected

Device Link

as the emulation method,

Rendering

intent

is unavailable because a rendering intent is already defined for

each device link emulation.

Custom CMYK Device Link emulations are available only if you have the
Pro Basic or Pro Control Station configuration.

Notes:

The

Emulate paper tint

check box is available only if you select

Device

Link

as the CMYK profile.

When you select the

Emulate paper tint

check box, the Spire CX260

applies the absolute colorimetric rendering method.

When you select the

Emulate paper tint

check box, the

RGB

Workflow > Apply CMYK emulation

check box is selected by default.

If the job is simplex, only the front side is printed using the tint
emulation.

Paper tint emulations are available only if you have the Pro Basic or Pro
Control Station configuration.
