ICC standard path
Jobs undergo a color transformation to an independent color
space before color transformation to the DocuSP print engine
CMYK color space. This path requires more RIP time as the
color is transformed from Input (such as RGB or input CMYK) to
Profile Connection Space (PCS) to output CMYK or SWOP™
CMYK. The K channel will not be preserved for incoming CMYK
data.
The chief benefit of using this path is its ease of use.
The following conditions guarantee a job follows the ICC
standard path:
A user output profile has been assigned to the job.
A color adjustment (lightness, contrast, saturation, color cast,
trapping, black overprint, or anti-aliasing) has been set for the
job.
