Color management in Command WorkStation
Designed to give flexible control of color printing, Command WorkStation includes the
following color management and color-related tools:
• Color management
Command WorkStation allows you to set the default settings of the ColorWise print
options for the EX700i. These default settings are applied to all print jobs sent to the
EX700i, unless a user overrides them for an individual job by changing settings in the
printer driver or in Job Properties.
• Profiles
Command WorkStation allows you to manage all of the ICC profiles used in EX700i
workflows. You can also create custom profiles by editing existing CMYK source or output
profiles and saving them as new profiles. The AutoGray feature allows you to adjust the
gray balance of output profiles.
•Calibrator
For consistent color, calibrate the EX700i on a regular basis. Command WorkStation
includes an easy-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using either the scanning
unit that is part of the digital press or an optional spectrophotometer or densitometer
(see “Calibration” on page 46).
Command WorkStation also allows you to use any Status T densitometer by importing
data in a standard file format. In this case, it is important to note that the quality of the
instrument used determines the quality of the calibration.
• Spot-On (spot colors)
Spot-On is a spot color (named color) manager. You can adjust and manage lists of spot
colors and their CMYK equivalents. The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values
are known as spot color dictionaries. Spot-On allows you to edit spot color definitions on
the EX700i and create custom spot color definitions and dictionaries.
•ImageViewer
ImageViewer allows you to soft proof and adjust colors in a job before it is printed. You
can use the preview in ImageViewer to verify job placement, orientation, and content, as
well as general color accuracy.
• Image Enhance Visual Editor (IEVE)
IEVE is an image editing application that provides users with a visual workspace to adjust
individual images in a job. With IEVE, you can see the effects of your adjustments and
fine-tune the appearance of an image.
