11-1 Workflow concepts Chapter 1: Simple and Advanced Workflows This chapter discusses color management workflows used in short-run color printing, as well as color proofing on the Color Server. It also gives examples of color management in specific desktop applications and discusses the interaction between those applications and ColorWise color management. Workflow concepts The term "workflow" is used to describe the path a job follows from its creation in a desktop application to final printed output. It is helpful to think of the following factors when describing workflows: • Short-run printing versus color proofing for eventual output on an offset press • RGB, CMYK, and spot color systems • Desktop color management within an application versus color management on the Color Server, along with the notion that different versions of desktop applications handle color management differently. NOTE: It is important to pay close attention to the version of a particular application when considering the workflows in this chapter. Short-run printing versus color proofing Short-run color printing refers to those jobs for which the Color Server is the final print device. Printing jobs to the Color Server in preparation for printing on an offset press is referred to as color proofing. Both types of Color Server print jobs use RGB, CMYK, and spot colors. • For short-run jobs, bright, saturated colors are often desirable. These are achieved by using the full range of colors available, referred to as the full gamut of the printer or, more simply, device CMYK. For short-run printing examples, see "Advanced workflows" on page 1-8. • Offset jobs proofed on the Color Server require the printed colors to match those from another set of CMYK printing conditions. Colors that are specified for an offset press require CMYK simulation that is optimized for proofing on the printer. For color proofing examples that simulate the gamut of another digital printer or press standard, see "Advanced workflows" on page 1-8.

Workflow concepts
This chapter discusses color management workflows used in short-run color printing,
as well as color proofing on the Color Server. It also gives examples of color
management in specific desktop applications and discusses the interaction between
those applications and
ColorWise
color management.
Workflow concepts
The term “
workflow
” is used to describe the path a job follows from its creation in a
desktop application to final printed output. It is helpful to think of the following
factors when describing workflows:
•
Short-run printing versus color proofing for eventual output on an offset press
• RGB,
CMYK, and spot color systems
•
Desktop color management within an application versus color management on the
Color Server, along with the notion that different versions of desktop applications
handle color management differently.

It is important to pay close attention to the version of a particular application
when considering the workflows in this chapter.
Short-run printing versus color proofing
Short-run color printing refers to those jobs for which the Color Server is the final
print device. Printing jobs to the Color Server in preparation for printing on an offset
press is referred to as color proofing. Both types of Color Server print jobs use RGB,
CMYK, and spot colors.
•
For short-run jobs, bright, saturated colors are often desirable. These are achieved by
using the full range of colors available, referred to as the full
gamut
of the printer or,
more simply, device CMYK. For short-run printing examples, see
“Advanced
workflows”
on page 1-8.
•
Offset jobs proofed on the Color Server require the printed colors to match those
from another set of CMYK printing conditions. Colors that are specified for an
offset press require CMYK simulation that is optimized for proofing on the
printer. For color proofing examples that simulate the gamut of another digital
printer or press standard, see
“Advanced workflows”
on page 1-8.
