Things to remember, The Xerox Enhanced Path always provides improved RIP

Page 50 highlights

Troubleshooting A third possibility should be tested if the first two are not the cause of the imaging problem: a source color mismatch may exist between the queue and the job's input color space. For example, if the intent of the job is to render a CMYK document which was originally designed for a SWOP™ press, you need to select "SWOP™ Coated CMYK" as the source CMYK color space. If FOGRA Gloss is selected in Job Properties and SWOP™ CMYK is selected in Queue Properties a mismatch exists. Things to remember In closing out this chapter, we wanted to provide you with a short list of things to remember: • Color Adjustments are performed in PCS (XYZ), thus always invoking the ICC path. • Calibration and User TRCs are applied in hardware. They do not affect RIP performance or color pathway. • The Xerox Enhanced Path always provides improved RIP performance and better image quality. • Using pre-installed profiles and Look Up Tables is sufficient for most customer jobs and most stock. • Building and utilizing profiles will always invoke the ICC path. • When using untagged files, make sure the appropriate source RGB or CMYK space is selected on the queue or job. • If there is a mismatch between the Source CMYK and the Destination Emulation, the results will be unpredictable. • Most PDF files have the Relative Colorimetric intent specified in the file. If you want to change the rendering, a queue or job override must be selected. 5-2 Color Management Guide

Color Management Guide
A third possibility should be tested if the first two are not the
cause of the imaging problem: a source color mismatch may
exist between the queue and the job’s input color space. For
example, if the intent of the job is to render a CMYK document
which was originally designed for a SWOP™ press, you need to
select “SWOP™ Coated CMYK” as the source CMYK color
space. If FOGRA Gloss is selected in Job Properties and
SWOP™ CMYK is selected in Queue Properties a mismatch
exists.
Things to remember
In closing out this chapter, we wanted to provide you with a short
list of things to remember:
Color Adjustments are performed in PCS (XYZ), thus always
invoking the ICC path.
Calibration and User TRCs are applied in hardware. They do
not affect RIP performance or color pathway.
The Xerox Enhanced Path always provides improved RIP
performance and better image quality.
Using pre-installed profiles and Look Up Tables is sufficient
for most customer jobs and most stock.
Building and utilizing profiles will always invoke the ICC path.
When using untagged files, make sure the appropriate
source RGB or CMYK space is selected on the queue or job.
If there is a mismatch between the Source CMYK and the
Destination Emulation, the results will be unpredictable.
Most PDF files have the Relative Colorimetric intent specified
in the file. If you want to change the rendering, a queue or job
override must be selected.
