1-5 Managing color on the iR C2100/2100S
RGB Source Profile
The RGB Source Profile setting allows you to define the characteristics of
the RGB data in your document so that the appropriate color conversion can
occur on the iR C2100/2100S. Commonly used monitor color spaces are
available from the driver and from the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager.
In addition, for special needs you can use ColorWise Pro Tools to download
custom monitor or scanner profiles.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile, the
iR C2100/2100S overrides source color space definitions or profiles that
other color management systems may have specified. For example, if you
specified a ColorSync System Profile on your Mac OS computer, the RGB
Source Profile setting overrides it. In cases where you do not want this setting
to override another specified source color space, choose the None setting.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile—
since the color space definitions are overridden—the prints from the
iR C2100/2100S will be consistent across platforms. Below are the
iR C2100/2100S’s RGB Source Profile options.
Presentation—Creates saturated colors
but does not match printed colors
precisely to displayed colors. In-gamut
colors such as flesh tones are rendered
well, similar to the Photographic
rendering style.
Artwork and graphs in presentations.
In many cases it can be used for mixed
pages that contain both presentation
graphics and photographs.

Relative Colorimetric
—Provides
white-point transformation between
the source and destination white
points. For example, the bluish gray of
a monitor will map to neutral gray.
You may prefer this style to avoid
visible borders when not printing full-
bleed.
Advanced use when color matching is
important but you prefer white colors
in the document to print as paper
white. It may also be used with
PostScript color management to affect
CMYK data for simulation purposes.

Absolute Colorimetric
—Provides no
white point transformation between
the source and destination white
points. For example, the bluish gray of
a monitor will map to a bluish gray.
Situations when exact colors are
needed and visible borders are not
distracting. It may also be used with
PostScript color management to affect
CMYK data for simulation purposes.
