Managing color
Color management on the IC-309m print controller
Color management is a series of steps taken to ensure that colors
are accurate and repeatable when transferred from one device to
another. These steps enable you to reproduce the color conceived
by a graphic artist or photographer as closely as possible on a
monitor, a proof, or the sheet.
Although the IC-309m print controller drives monochrome printers,
it uses these same color management steps to take the input color
space and convert it into the printer's black color space..
The IC-309m print controller enables you to use these tools to
adjust and improve the color quality in your jobs:
●
Spot Color Editor, which enables you to edit the CMYK values
of every spot color in the Spot color dictionary.
●
Gradation Tool, which enables you to create and edit gradation
tables to perform tone corrections on your printed output.
IPDS and AFP color management
Note: The IPDS workflow is available only with the Trans Pack.
When you are working in IPDS mode, the IPDS data is handled
according to the Color Management Object Content Architecture
(CMOCA), as defined by the AFP Color Consortium (AFPCC).
The IC-309m print controller applies color management options for
each IPDS data object according to the Color Management
Resources (CMR) that are included in the IPDS data
stream.Although the IC-309m print controller drives monochrome
printers, it still applies color management options for each IPDS
data object according to the Color Management Resources (CMR)
that are included in the IPDS data stream.
This also applies to AFP files processed in file submission mode.
Note: You can override the CMOCA settings and make additional
adjustments to the color settings in the IPDS printer setting or in the AFP tab
of the virtual printer.
