22-2 Working with Color in Applications The type of printing you plan for the document-short-run color printing on the Color Server versus color proofing for eventual printing on an offset press-determines the way you define colors, as well as the print option settings you choose. • For short-run color printing on the Color Server, use any application and define colors in either RGB or CMYK. If your application supports it, you can also choose colors from the PANTONE color library. Placed images may be limited to the RGB color space. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting color output (see the Color Guide). • For color proofing, use an application that writes its own PostScript. Define colors in RGB or CMYK, or choose colors from the PANTONE color library. Placed images can also be defined in RGB or CMYK. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting color output (see the Color Guide). NOTE: The Color Server allows you to use RGB or CMYK data when printing proofs for an offset press run. However, sending data to an imagesetter most often requires CMYK data. Color reference pages Your Color Server user software includes several types of color reference pages that allow you to see the range of colors that can be printed on your printer. For predictable color, use the color reference pages when defining the colors in your document. • RGB Color Reference-a Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file that allow you to view the colors available in the standard palettes of office applications and see how those colors print on the Color Server (see page 2-4). • CMYK Color Reference-an 11-page downloadable PostScript file of CMYK color patches (see page 2-7). • PANTONE Coated Color Reference-a 19-page downloadable PostScript file of color patches showing CMYK equivalents of PANTONE Coated colors. This file prints differently depending on the setting of the Spot Color Matching option (see page 2-7). In addition, you can print RGB, CMY, and PANTONE color charts from the Color Server Control Panel.

Working with Color in Applications
The type of printing you plan for the document—short-run color printing on the
Color Server versus color proofing for eventual printing on an offset press—determines
the way you define colors, as well as the print option settings you choose.
•
For short-run color printing on the Color Server, use any application and define
colors in either RGB or CMYK. If your application supports it, you can also choose
colors from the PANTONE color library. Placed images may be limited to the RGB
color space. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting color output
(see the
Color Guide
).
•
For color proofing, use an application that writes its own PostScript. Define colors in
RGB or CMYK, or choose colors from the PANTONE color library. Placed images
can also be defined in RGB or CMYK. Choose the appropriate settings for print
options affecting color output (see the
Color Guide
).
N
OTE
:
The Color Server allows you to use RGB or CMYK data when printing proofs
for an offset press run. However, sending data to an
imagesetter
most often requires
CMYK data.
Color reference pages
Your Color Server user software includes several types of color reference pages that
allow you to see the range of colors that can be printed on your printer. For predictable
color, use the color reference pages when defining the colors in your document.
•
RGB Color Reference—a Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file that
allow you to view the colors available in the standard palettes of office applications
and see how those colors print on the Color Server (see
page 2-4
).
•
CMYK Color Reference—an 11-page downloadable PostScript file of CMYK color
patches (see
page 2-7
).
•
PANTONE Coated Color Reference—a 19-page downloadable PostScript file of
color patches showing CMYK equivalents of PANTONE Coated colors. This file
prints differently depending on the setting of the Spot Color Matching option
(see
page 2-7
).
In addition, you can print RGB, CMY, and PANTONE color charts from the Color
Server Control Panel.
