About the
ColorMark CMS
The ColorMark Color Management System (CMS) is
ColorSpan’s proprietary technology for matching colors speci-
fied in your documents to the printed output. This unique color
management system consists of media, inks, and profilers that
have known characteristics, which are monitored by the soft-
ware in order to create printed colors that are consistent, accu-
rate, and true to the original image.
The profilers also track the amount of ink remaining in each Big
Ink Pack, allowing the print server to warn you when an individ-
ual ink supply is running low, even when you switch between
partially-used ink packs.
You must install the ColorMark CMS software for accurate color
reproduction. Depending on your output device, you will use a
combination of the following:
◆
ColorMark Profilers and Profiling Software
◆
Specially formulated or approved media
◆
Specially formulated ColorMark inks
◆
ColorMark Docking Station
ColorMark media and inks have been carefully developed and
tested to maintain the highest level of quality. They have known
colorimetric properties that are optimized by the ColorMark
CMS to produce the highest quality output each time.
If you accept the ColorMark License Agreement, you can install
ColorSpan’s ColorMark Color Management System (CMS) soft-
ware. The agreement is printed on the package that holds the
software.
Note
If you do not install ColorMark, color matching is not
enabled.
