Paper simulation white point editing
The Paper Simulation feature renders paper white as a printed color in the output, rather than leaving white areas of
the page unprinted. White point editing allows you to adjust the hue, brightness, and saturation of the simulated
paper white, which is defined in a CMYK source profile as the white point.
Many jobs print satisfactorily with the default white point setting used by the Paper Simulation print option. If Paper
Simulation with white point editing is supported by your Fiery Server, you can customize the white point if necessary
to achieve the result that you want.
Note: If you print a job with Paper Simulation, and you have defined a substitute color as C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0, the
values defined in Substitute Colors override those for Paper Simulation.
Edit Paper Simulation white point values
The Paper Simulation white point editing feature lets you customize an existing CMYK source profile and adjust its
white point. You must also link the custom profile with a specific output profile. When you print a job, you must
select the customized CMYK source profile and its linked output profile to see the effect of the Paper Simulation
White Point editing.
Before you begin
If you want to preserve the existing CMYK source profile, make a copy of it before editing the white point. You can
copy a profile by exporting it and then importing it with a different name.
Note: You can edit the white point of a CMYK source profile but not an output profile.
If you have a spectrophotometer (such as an ES-2000), you can import measured color values directly. This feature
allows you to target a match based on the actual color of the paper. To use a spectrophotometer, install and set up
the spectrophotometer before you begin editing the white point.
Note: To use an X-Rite i1Pro 2, you must use an instrument obtained from EFI.
1
In Device Center, click the Resources tab and click Profiles.
2
Select a CMYK source profile to customize and click Paper Simulation.
3
Select the output profile to link with this CMYK source profile and click OK.
Note: When you print a job with the custom profile, you must select the same output profile.
4
Make sure that the correct monitor profile for your monitor is displayed under Monitor Profile. If the correct
monitor profile is not selected, select the correct monitor profile in Command WorkStation Preferences.
5
To measure a new white point using a spectrophotometer, click the spectrophotometer icon.
6
Place the spectrophotometer in its calibration cradle and click Calibrate. Calibration improves the accuracy of
measurements.
7
Place the spectrophotometer over the target color, making sure to center the sample aperture over the color.
8
Press the button on the spectrophotometer to take the measurement. The measured CMYK values are imported
into the CMYK fields, and the corresponding Lab values are displayed.
