System information
•
ECI-RGB - The European Color Initiative (ECI) recommended space for use as an RGB working color space and
color data exchange format for ad agencies, publishers, reproduction, and printing houses.
•
Fiery RGB - An EFI-defined color space recommended for users of office applications. This color space is
similar to EFIRGB but is larger and can provide a more desirable blue output.
In cases where you do not want RGB Source to override another specified source color space, either select None or
select the Use Embedded Profile When Present (RGB) option, whichever setting your Fiery Server supports.
If RGB Source is set to None, or the Use Embedded Profile When Present (RGB) option is enabled, the Fiery
Server ignores RGB Source and uses the RGB profile embedded in the print job (if any) as the RGB source profile.
CMYK/Grayscale Device Link and RGB/Lab Device Link
The CMYK/Grayscale Device Link option or the RGB/Lab Device Link option, along with the Output Profile
option, allows you to select a CMYK-to-CMYK device link profile or an RGB-to-CMYK device link profile
(respectively).
To be selected for a print job, a device link profile must reside on the Fiery Server and be associated with a specific
source profile (CMYK/Grayscale Device Link for a CMYK-to-CMYK device link profile or RGB/Lab Device
Link for an RGB-to-CMYK device link profile) and output profile (the Output Profile setting).
When you select the source profile and output profile settings associated with a device link profile, the Fiery Server
bypasses its normal color management and applies the device link conversion to the color data in the job. The source
profile and the output profile are not used.
Profiles that do not reside on the Fiery Server do not appear as settings. A device link profile that is not associated
with a source profile setting and an output profile setting cannot be selected for a job. Therefore, even though the
source profile and output profile that are associated with a device link profile are not used to calculate color
conversions, they must reside on the Fiery Server.
Use Embedded Profile When Present (CMYK and RGB)
You can specify whether the Fiery Server uses the source profile (either CMYK or RGB) that is embedded in the
print job rather than the source profile specified in the print settings.
CMYK
If you turn on Use Embedded Profile When Present (CMYK), the Fiery Server ignores the CMYK/Grayscale
Source option and uses the CMYK profile embedded in the print job (if any) as the CMYK source profile. If you
turn off this option, the Fiery Server uses the profile specified in the CMYK/Grayscale Source option.
When a CMYK profile is embedded in a job and Use Embedded Profiles When Present (CMYK) is enabled for
the job, or when a job is sent with PostScript Color Management, the job contains calibrated CMYK (or
CIEBasedDEFG) data. For jobs containing calibrated CMYK, the CMYK processing options are not used. Instead,
the RGB/Lab Rendering Intent option, which normally affects only RGB or Lab data, is used to process the
calibrated CMYK data. The RGB Source setting does not affect calibrated CMYK data.
RGB
If you turn on Use Embedded Profile When Present (RGB), the Fiery Server ignores the RGB Source option
and uses the RGB profile embedded in the print job (if any) as the RGB source profile. If you turn off this option, the
Fiery Server uses the profile specified in the RGB Source option.
