Managing color
Color management on the IC-307 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 press sheet.
The IC-307 print controller enables you to use these tools to adjust
and improve the color quality in your jobs:
● Profile Manager, which enables you to import profiles that define
the color space of the press, and are based on the combinations
of the paper and toner that you are using. For different media
types, you need different destination profiles.
● 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.
● Media and Color Manager, which enables you to map media
type to a destination profile.
Profiles
Profiles are used to reproduce color from one device’s color space
to another device's color space in a consistent manner. They
provide the necessary information to convert color data between
device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color
spaces. You use profiles to color-manage your system.
The source profile defines the RGB or CMYK color space of the
object’s source: characteristics such as the white point, gamma,
and type of phosphors used. The destination profile defines the
gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The IC-307 print
controller uses a device-independent color space to translate
