7 Managing color Color management on the IC-307 print controller Color management is a series of steps taken to ensure that colors are accurate and repeatable when transferred from one device to another. These steps enable you to reproduce the color conceived by a graphic artist or photographer as closely as possible on a monitor, a proof, or the press sheet. The IC-307 print controller enables you to use these tools to adjust and improve the color quality in your jobs: ● Profile Manager, which enables you to import profiles that define the color space of the press, and are based on the combinations of the paper and toner that you are using. For different media types, you need different destination profiles. ● Spot Color Editor, which enables you to edit the CMYK values of every spot color in the Spot color dictionary. ● Gradation Tool, which enables you to create and edit gradation tables to perform tone corrections on your printed output. ● Media and Color Manager, which enables you to map media type to a destination profile. Managing profiles Profiles are used to reproduce color from one device's color space to another device's color space in a consistent manner. They provide the necessary information to convert color data between device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color spaces. You use profiles to color-manage your system. The source profile defines the RGB or CMYK color space of the object's source: characteristics such as the white point, gamma, and type of phosphors used. The destination profile defines the gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The IC-307 print controller uses a device-independent color space to translate
