MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS 22 Output profiles All color data in a job is affected by the output profile on the Color Server. This profile may be the one designed for your device and shipped with the Color Server, or it may be a custom profile created at your site (see Color Printing). If necessary, print the Test Page to see which profile is the active default on the Color Server. Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file To ensure color accuracy, take the following steps: • When saving CMYK EPS files, do not include PostScript color management information. This minimizes the risk of conflicting data and multiple color conversions. PostScript color management causes your CMYK colors to be interpreted by the Color Server as though they were supplied in the Lab color space and, as a result, processed by RGB print options, rather than your CMYK Source and CMYK Processing Method settings. • Include ICC color information in files. ColorWise does not conflict with this information, and such data is useful for identifying the specific color space used by your files. • Do not include halftone and transfer functions. • Turn off color management in the printer driver. On Windows computers, on the Color Management tab of the printer's Properties, make sure that no color profiles are associated with the printer. On Mac OS computers, in the ColorSync settings of the printer driver, set the Color Conversion option to In Printer and the Quartz Filter option to None.

Output profiles
All color data in a job is affected by the output profile on the Color Server. This profile may
be the one designed for your device and shipped with the Color Server, or it may be a custom
profile created at your site (see

). If necessary, print the Test Page to see which
profile is the active default on the Color Server.
Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file
To ensure color accuracy, take the following steps:
•
When saving CMYK EPS files, do not include PostScript color management information.
This minimizes the risk of conflicting data and multiple color conversions. PostScript
color management causes your CMYK colors to be interpreted by the Color Server as
though they were supplied in the Lab color space and, as a result, processed by RGB print
options, rather than your CMYK Source and CMYK Processing Method settings.
•
Include ICC color information in files. ColorWise does not conflict with this information,
and such data is useful for identifying the specific color space used by your files.
•
Do not include halftone and transfer functions.
•
Turn off color management in the printer driver.
On Windows computers, on the Color Management tab of the printer’s Properties, make
sure that no color profiles are associated with the printer.
On Mac OS computers, in the ColorSync settings of the printer driver, set the Color
Conversion option to In Printer and the Quartz Filter option to None.
