- "Color printing concepts" - "Color management" on page 229 v "Tips for images" on page 241 v Scenario describing a possible implementation: "Eliminating physical inserts" on page 251 For a list of the companies that participate in the AFP Consortium and support AFP color management in their products, see: http://www.afpcinc.org Resources stored and managed centrally To take full advantage of the AFP CMOCA, you can store your color and image resources in a central resource library, and let your print system manage those resources. This option optimizes system performance by: v Creating some of the color management resources for you automatically v Reducing the number of color conversion resources that the system creates at print time by generating link color conversion color management resources in advance v Reducing the size of some images by removing embedded profiles when you store them, yet still retaining the association between the image and the profile v Letting you mark resources as capturable, so they can be saved on the printer and used in other print jobs without being downloaded again For an introduction to the full AFP CMOCA and how you might implement it, see: v General information about color and grayscale printing and color management: - "Color printing concepts" - "Grayscale printing concepts" on page 228 - "Color management" on page 229 v "AFP color management" on page 231 v "InfoPrint AFP color and grayscale products" on page 242 v "AFP color solution scenarios" on page 246 v "Related publications" on page 252 v Scenario describing a possible implementation: "Replacing pre-printed forms" on page 248 Color printing concepts Color printing is significantly more complicated than black and white printing. If you understand some of the complexities, you can make the transition from black and white printing to grayscale or color printing more smoothly. Color spaces and ICC profiles Presentation devices, such as computer monitors and printers, create colors differently. Because of these differences, colors must be described differently for each device. The different methods of describing colors are called color spaces. In addition, each device might have one or more International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles associated with it. ICC profiles are used when an image or another object is converted to the color space of a different device. 224 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures
