11-6 Simple and Advanced Workflows The Color Server comes into play near the end of the color workflow. To ensure the colors you selected reach the Color Server and ColorWise in a usable form, bypass any color management from applications and printer drivers. Keep in mind, however, that ColorWise fully supports color management from applications and printer drivers (see "Advanced workflows" on page 1-8). You must print with the CMYK Simulation print option set to match the CMYK color space used in the application to select the colors. Any CMYK Simulation setting (except Match Copy) applies calibration, so the response of the printer will appear to be stable. The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are SWOP in the U.S., Euroscale in Europe, and DIC in Japan-choices that respect the color standard for each region. If colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated Color Server, set CMYK Simulation to None. For a list and descriptions of ColorWise print options that affect CMYK, RGB, spot, and other colors, see the Color Guide. Workflow 3 bypassing ColorWise-not recommended Bypassing ColorWise color management, while a possibility, is not a recommended workflow. When you bypass ColorWise, you must choose colors using only CMYK formulas designed specifically for your printer, and you must print with the CMYK Simulation option set to Match Copy, if it is available for your Color Server. The Color Server still prints pages using your PostScript files, and drives your printer and its accessories, but it does not perform CMYK color transformation, nor does it consider calibration data. Calibration is necessary for consistent output, since the color response from your printer varies significantly depending on wear, heat, humidity, and service.

Simple and Advanced Workflows
The Color Server comes into play near the end of the color workflow. To ensure the
colors you selected reach the Color Server and ColorWise in a usable form, bypass any
color management from applications and printer drivers. Keep in mind, however, that
ColorWise fully supports color management from applications and printer drivers
(see
“Advanced workflows”
on page 1-8).
You must print with the CMYK Simulation print option set to match the CMYK
color space used in the application to select the colors. Any CMYK Simulation setting
(except Match Copy) applies calibration, so the response of the printer will appear to
be stable.
The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are
SWOP
in the U.S.,
Euroscale
in
Europe, and
DIC
in Japan—choices that respect the color standard for each region.
If colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated Color Server, set CMYK
Simulation to None.
For a list and descriptions of ColorWise print options that affect CMYK, RGB, spot,
and other colors, see the
Color Guide
