Chapter 5 Working with Color This chapter introduces concepts that are basic to color theory. You will encounter some of these concepts (such as hue, saturation, and brightness) when you work with color in applications; others provide useful background information. Color is a complex topic, so consider this a starting point for experimentation and further research. The properties of color What we call “color” is really a perceptual ability unique to humans and a small number of animal species.
Working with Color CIE color model In the 1930s, the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) defined a standard color space, a way of defining colors in mathematical terms, to help in the communication of color information. This color space is based on research on the nature of color perception. By mixing any two spectral colors in different proportions, we can create all the colors found between them.
Working with Color Additive and subtractive color systems Color devices used in desktop publishing and printing simulate the range of visible colors using a set of primary colors that are combined to create other colors. There are two methods of creating a range of colors from a set of primary colors. Computer monitors and scanners use the additive color model. Printing technologies, including KX-P8420 print devices and offset presses, use the subtractive color model.
Working with Color Print device gamut Different color reproduction techniques have different color capabilities, or gamuts. Color transparency films have comparatively large gamuts, as do color monitors. The color gamut that can be produced using CMYK toners on paper is smaller.
Working with Color Controlling printed color When working with color materials, whether they be presentations, illustrations, or complicated page designs, you make aesthetic decisions about the colors you use. Once you have decided on your goal, you then need to realize it in print. Your color printing system becomes an ally in this creative process to the extent that you can get results that are predictable.
Working with Color Using color effectively The ability to print in color can greatly increase the effectiveness of your message, whether you are printing a presentation or a newsletter, or proofing an ad concept that will later be printed on press.
Working with Color Color wheel A color wheel is a helpful tool for understanding the interrelation of colors. The colors on one side of the color wheel, from magenta to yellow, appear to most people to be warm colors, while those on the other side, from green to blue, appear to be cool. The distance between two colors on the color wheel can help predict how they will appear when seen side by side. Colors opposite one another on the wheel are called complements, and create a striking contrast side by side.
Working with Color Color and text It is not a coincidence that the overwhelming majority of text you see is printed in black toner on white paper. Text in black on white is highly legible and is not fatiguing to read for extended periods. For many color materials, using black text on a white background and confining color to graphic elements and headings is a good choice. Color text can add flair to documents printed on paper when used skillfully, and is widely used in presentations.
Working with Color Raster images and vector images Two broad categories of artwork can be printed from a personal computer to a color printer: raster and vector images. A raster image, also referred to as a bitmap, is composed of a grid of pixels, each assigned a particular color value. The grid, when sufficiently enlarged, resembles a mosaic made from square tiles. Examples of raster images include scans and images created in painting or pixel-editing applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Painter.
Working with Color Optimizing files for processing and printing The following sections provide tips on how to create image files that produce the highest possible print quality while minimizing the processing time and disk space they require. Resolution of raster images While a 72 ppi raster image appears sharp on a monitor, the same image would likely appear pixelated when printed to the KX-P8420.
Working with Color To find the best image resolution for your purposes, make test prints of some raster artwork at different resolutions. Start with a high-resolution image (400 ppi) and save versions at progressively lower resolutions, down to 100 ppi, using a pixel-editing application such as Photoshop. Always save a copy of the original high-resolution version in case you need to revert to it. The high-resolution data cannot be recreated from a lower resolution version.
Working with Color Color management on the KX-P8420 The KX-P8420 uses a simple and flexible color architecture that produces excellent color results with default settings. It also allows you to customize your color results using various color controls. Settings for the following KX-P8420 options can be specified via print dialog box options when you send a job. Some can also be set as defaults by the administrator during KX-P8420 Setup.
Working with Color RGB Source The RGB Source option is used to provide a source color space definition for RGB data in your document. The setting you specify for this option overrides any source color space profiles you may have specified using other color management systems. For example, if you specified a ColorSync System Profile on the Macintosh computer, the RGB Source setting specified in the Print dialog box overrides it.
Working with Color Color rendering dictionaries Color rendering dictionaries (CRDs) are used to perform color conversions on RGB data. The following table describes the CRDs for KX-P8420 software and provides guidelines on when to use each one. Each color rendering style uses a different gamut mapping method, such as Photographic or Presentation, designed for a particular kind of color usage. Rendering style Best used for Photographic—Preserves tonal relationships in images rather than exact colors.
Working with Color CMYK Simulation If you are using the KX-P8420 to print proofs for an offset press job or to simulate another print device, select the appropriate CMYK Simulation setting. The CMYK Simulation setting specifies the offset press standard or other color gamut that you want to simulate. The CMYK Simulation setting you should specify depends on the press standard for which the CMYK data was separated.
Working with Color ■ Using the CMYK color reference page The CMYK color reference page, included with your KX-P8420 user software, let you see how various cyan, magenta, yellow, and black combinations look when printed on your print device. Using the CMYK color reference pages, you can easily determine the CMYK values to specify to obtain the printed colors you want. The CMYK color reference file is an 11-page, letter-size PostScript file.
Appendix A Fonts The following section lists the built-in fonts included with your KX-P8420 printer. NOTE: • All fonts that are pre-installed on your printer have also been included on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM.

Glossary Additive color model Color rendering dictionary (CRD) A system in which color is produced by combining primary lights additively. The additive primaries are red, green, and blue. When added together in proper amounts, these colors produce white. An RGB video monitor is based on an additive color model. A feature found in PostScript Level 3 color printers that gives improved matching between the monitor and printed output.
Glossary Density Metamerism A precise measurement of the light energy transmitted or reflected by a surface in the presence of a standard light source. Phenomenon where two colors composed of different combinations of light wavelengths appear identical. The colors are called “metamers”. Densitometer Moiré An instrument that measures density according to a specified standard. Status T densitometers are commonly used in the graphic arts industry.
Glossary Prepress proof Spot color A print made from a set of film separations, or from an electronic file, to simulate the results of printing. A film proof is the last opportunity to catch problems before the final printing. A color that is printed on its own separation plate when separations are specified. A spot color is printed using a special ink for that color, in contrast to process colors that are printed using combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
