this manual to denote a supported printer or copier. The term "toner" in this manual refers to either toner or ink. Basics of color management The past several years have seen progress toward standardization in the field of digital color management systems. Both the Windows and Mac OS operating - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 12
factors always impact color print output: printer consistency and the range of colors the printer can print, known as its gamut. These concepts are covered briefly in this chapter. Creating successful color documents and presentations also requires an understanding of color management software as it - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 13
fidelity and overall output quality. Paper stock and toner The paper and toner used by your printer can affect printed color. For best results, use the supplies recommended by the manufacturer of the printer. Maintenance Problems such as streaking and insufficient or excessive amounts of one or more - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 14
these color management features automatically, using either built-in default settings or settings you select for a particular print job. For added flexibility, you can also use the Color Server color management system in combination with the color management systems on Windows and Mac OS computers - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 15
allows you to specify default and override settings for the source color space information and the output profile information (see the Color Guide). When you use these settings, you do not need to use the features of other color management systems. Your Color Server software includes ICC profiles - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 16

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 - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 18

Two basic workflows exist for printing spot colors to the Color Server: Spot Color Matching On uses color tables built in the Color Server to simulate the spot color with its closest CMYK equivalent. Spot Color Matching Off instructs the Color Server to - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 19
ColorWise manages color conversions for all users printing to the Color Server from Windows and Mac OS computers. It allows users to follow a simple workflow with minimal intervention using robust default settings, while giving advanced users the control and precision they need. The Color Server can - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 20

Raster images and vector graphics Two broad categories of artwork can be printed from a personal computer to a color printer: raster images and vector graphics. A raster - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 107
per inch (ppi). The bit depth is the number of bits of information assigned to each pixel. Black and white raster images require only one bit of information per pixel. Grayscale images require 8 bits per pixel. For photographic quality color, 24 bits of RGB color information are required per pixel - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Reference Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 108
of the final print device. Aim for the resolution that optimizes both file size and output quality. The resolution of a raster image, along with its bit depth and physical dimensions, determine its file size.

Color Primer In this table, the shaded areas indicate that 200 ppi is typically the best trade-off between image quality and file size.
