INTRODUCTION 9 Key features of ColorWise ColorWise is the color management system (CMS) built into the E100 and designed to provide both casual and expert users with the best color output for a variety of purposes. The ColorWise default settings provide high-quality, out-of-box color from many Windows and Mac OS applications. This allows casual users to achieve quality output without knowing about or changing any color settings on the E100. ColorWise also allows expert users to obtain the best color output. ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular needs, you can: • Set the behavior of CMYK printing to emulate offset press standards. • Match PANTONE and other spot colors for the best match when printing using four-color press conditions or presses with extra, custom plates. • Select a rendering intent for RGB printing. Rendering intents allow for rich, saturated printing of presentation graphics, smooth, accurate printing of photographs, and relative or absolute colorimetric rendering for specialized needs. • Define the source of incoming RGB color data for better color conversion of RGB data with no source information. • Determine whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the copier or is first converted into the gamut of another device, such as a press standard. This feature is useful for making one device behave like another for RGB data. It also allows you to evaluate the appearance of an RGB file under different printing conditions without having to convert the RGB file to CMYK first. ColorWise color management (ColorWise) offers an open color architecture, allowing users to customize the E100 to meet new printing needs as they arise. ColorWise supports ICC profiles, which are industry standard color profiles that describe the color behavior of a device. Note that ICC specification version 4 profiles (profile version 4.2.0.0) are supported as well as version 2. Downloading ICC profiles to the E100 enables the E100 to simulate a custom press (or another copier), as well as accurately print colors from a particular monitor or scanner. In addition, you can create customized ICC profiles for the copier.

Key features of ColorWise
ColorWise
is the
color management system (CMS)
built into the E100 and designed to
provide both casual and expert users with the best color output for a variety of purposes. The
ColorWise default settings provide high-quality, out-of-box color from many Windows and
Mac OS applications. This allows casual users to achieve quality output without knowing
about or changing any color settings on the E100. ColorWise also allows expert users to
obtain the best color output.
ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular needs,
you can:
Set the behavior of
CMYK
printing to emulate offset press standards.
Match PANTONE and other
spot colors
for the best match when printing using
four-color press conditions or presses with extra, custom plates.
Select a
rendering intent for
RGB
printing. Rendering intents allow for rich, saturated
printing of
presentation graphics
, smooth, accurate printing of photographs, and relative
or absolute colorimetric rendering for specialized needs.
Define the source of incoming RGB color data for better color conversion of RGB data
with no source information.
Determine whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the copier or is first
converted into the gamut of another device, such as a press standard. This feature is useful
for making one device behave like another for RGB data. It also allows you to evaluate the
appearance of an RGB file under different printing conditions without having to convert
the RGB file to CMYK first.
