DocuSP color management CMYK Native path Color management is performed within the application using DocuSP output color ICC profiles to create jobs composed with the DocuSP print engine CMYK color profile. These jobs are sent directly to the RIP with no color transformations, assuming you have not programmed any color adjustments. Documents destined for this path MUST be designed using the appropriate CMYK color space for the DocuSP destination print engine. This is usually achieved by using the CMYK destination profile for the destination media/engine combination. Benefits of using this path include: • Fastest RIP performance of any of the paths • Color will be consistent throughout, since the job is created and submitted expressly for the specific print engine Fast Reprint path Fast Reprint jobs, accessed through Reprint Manager, are saved using "Print and Save" or "Save" commands when processing the job. Fast Reprint jobs do not require re-RIPping. Color management properties are set prior to saving the job. The only color change that can be applied to a job on the Fast Reprint path is a User TRC. Benefits of using this path include: • No need to re-submit jobs • Fast print times (achieving engine-rated speed) since the RIP is bypassed on reprint • No need to reset Color Management properties NOTE: Calibration TRCs and User TRCs may be applied to the reprint job, since TRC processing is done in the hardware. PANTONE® path An incoming job is scanned by the controller and, if the job contains PANTONE® calls, the PANTONE® path is invoked. The job's color information is processed using a pair of Look Up Tables (one for Coated and one for Uncoated) and then passes directly to the printer output, bypassing all other color processing except for User TRCs.
