2. About color printing Overview Traditional offset printing requires time, people, materials, and many steps to produce quality color output. Digital technology is changing the way the printing industry works. All the steps that used to be performed for offset printing have now been digitized and can be performed on your computer. The digital color press makes it possible for you to print fast, offset-quality images.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Image quality When creating a document with color images, you first need to understand the capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of the software you are using. This applies to both the PC and Mac platforms of software such as QuarkXPress®, Adobe FrameMaker®, Adobe Illustrator®, Macromedia FreeHand®, and Adobe Photoshop®, to mention just a few of the applications available today. Having a thorough knowledge of these programs will assist you in creating your files correctly.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g How input determines output Successful reproduction of color images depends on a number of factors, starting with the differences in how the various technologies that affect the image translate and display the color. Scanners Scanners are able to capture colors only as red, green, and blue (RGB). Two types of scanners are used today: drum and flatbed scanners. A flatbed scanner does not have as much color range as a drum scanner.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Image key Some scanners, especially low-end desktop models, tend to compress the tonal range of an image and increase the contrast or difference between light and dark areas. If the contrast of your original is too high or too low, detail could be lost when it is reproduced. Images that have few dark areas or shadow tones are called high key. In contrast, a low key image consists of large areas of shadow and darker midtones (the tones that fall in between).
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Grain/image size The size of an original scanned image is also important to the clarity of the output image. If an image is enlarged too much, the grain of the image may become obvious, detracting from the image quality. In digital photographs, the grain introduced by scanning limits how large an image can be successfully enlarged. The guidelines below show the maximum recommended enlargement for a few standard sizes.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Additive color Computer monitors work with energized phosphors that glow red, green, or blue on the face of a picture tube. If accurate color reproduction is important to you, your monitor should be calibrated on a regular basis. Calibration adjusts and corrects the gamma, white and black points, and color balance of the monitor. Monitors display color with impressive accuracy, but they can never match the printed page perfectly because of the physics of color involved.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Color gamut A color gamut is a range of colors. The gamut that the human eye can see is much larger than can be produced in a photograph. The photograph gamut is much larger than that of an RGB monitor. The RGB monitor gamut is larger than the CMYK gamut of a Xerox DocuColor system press. The CMYK gamut of offset printing is significantly less than that of a Xerox DocuColor system. The figure below compares the color gamuts of a color printer with the digital color press.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Color models Video technology (computer monitors, scanners, and television screens) sees color as transparent light and uses an RGB model to display colors. To display color appropriately on video technology, captured images are broken down into pixels (picture elements) that are projected as rays of red, green, and blue light. Printers see color as reflective light, which reacts much differently on hard copy printed images and bounces off nontransparent surfaces.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Adding and replacing gray to improve color UCR UCR There are limitations to achieving the exact colors when converting from RGB (for video display) to CMY (for print). For example, CMY pigments aren’t capable of producing consistent black or gray tones. Light GCR Another form of undercolor removal is called Gray Component Replacement (GCR).
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Color management Since the color on a screen differs from the color produced by the press, it is necessary to have a Color Management System (CMS). The CMS identifies and bridges the gap between the RGB and CMYK color spaces belonging to your monitor, press, and scanner. Mac and Mac OS compatible computers use the Apple ColorSync CMS to implement and handle the profiles of these devices. For Windows - based PCs, refer to your PC Operator Manual for the compatible CMS.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Halftone dots Halftone dots are combinations of spots that create a printed dot. The dots shown here demonstrate different print resolutions. The illustration on the left contains 25 possible printer dot cells, which can create different gray values. The illustration on the right contains 256 printer dot cells, which allows for a greater range of grays. To print a visually convincing halftone image, you need at least 150 shades of gray.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Electronic digital file Calibration Calibration is essential to insuring good color quality. The purpose of calibration is to measure how the digital press is printing the requested colors and to then make any corrections that are required. Calibration at the color server should be done daily, or any time there is the possibility that the digital press colors may have changed from what they were in an earlier calibration.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Digital image manipulation Although image reproduction can be a complex process, one of the primary advantages of capturing an image digitally is that it can be manipulated until you have achieved the desired output. Imaging software applications are continually improving image manipulation capabilities to simplify the process. Sizing When digitally enlarging an image, the pixels or cells may become visible.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Output considerations Mottle Mottling is uneven spotty toner coverage that occurs when printing large, solid areas of flat color. Paper choice can be critical in avoiding this problem. To obtain sharp and uniform images, use only paper stock that is smooth and has uniformly distributed fibers. Mottle No mottle Registration Trapping or overprinting can compensate for gaps or shifts as the paper passes through the printing cycle.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Trapping Trapping compensates for misregistration by slightly overprinting adjacent colors. No Trap Trap Halo Haloes are light areas around an object that occur when printing a darker color dry ink/toner on a lighter color dry ink/toner background. Printing on pastel or gray paper eliminates this problem. Halo No Halo Opacity Do c u Co lo r 52 5 2 O pe r a to r Ma n ua l 2-15 2 Abo ut c ol or p ri nt i ng Opacity is a measure of how much light can pass through paper.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Anti-aliasing Anti-aliasing is a graphics software feature that eliminates or softens the jaggedness of low resolution curved edges. Anti-aliased Not Anti-aliased Knockout Knockout prints a shape or object by removing (knocking out) all underlying colors. Knockout Overprint Overprint allows an element to print over the top of underlying elements, rather than knocking them out. This feature is often used with black text.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Duplex settings To ensure that the image orientation is correct on both sides of the page, the correct duplex setting must be indicated in the print driver window. If the setting is incorrect, your document could print with the image data on one side of the page rotated 180o from the other side. File formats Computer graphics created in different graphics software applications provide varying levels of output quality.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Color server Color servers are connected to your network and drive the color output devices (digital color presses/printers). Each time an image is sent to a printer, the color server connected to the printer converts, or rasterizes, the data in the file into dots which can be printed by the target output device. Each dot is assigned a specific location, color, and density level.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Finishing There are two types of finishing: the finishing that the digital press can do and the preparation for finishing other than what the digital press can perform. The finishing options for the digital press are the Offset Catch Tray (OCT), which offsets sets for easy separation, or the High Capacity Stacker (HCS), which collates and offsets stacks received from the press.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Binding preparation Nested signature and binders creep The effects of binders creep are most obvious when thick paper is folded or multiple signatures are nested with each other. After trimming, the innermost signatures will have a smaller page size than the outermost. Gathered signature Gathered signatures are folded, placed on top of one another, and bound together. This process minimizes the effects of binders creep.
A bo u t c o l or pr in ti n g Binding methods Saddle stitching Saddle Stitching is accomplished using a stapler or a high-speed binding machine that inserts and bends thin wire through the spine of a document. This wire leaves the document looking like it has been stapled. The maximum number of sheets that can be saddle stitched is 32.
A bo u t c ol o r p r i nt i ng Final finishing touches Die cutting In die cutting, shapes are cut out of a page with sharp knives. It is most often used to create attention-getting documents, or for packaging with unique shapes, like video box covers. Lamination Laminated documents are encased in a thin, washable plastic coating to protect frequently handled documents from the elements and human wear and tear.

Overview Upper Door Figure 3-26 The illustration below shows how the Upper Door Transport Module Paper Path transports paper from Trays 1 and 2 to the Transport Module.
O v e r v ie w Transport Module Figure 3-28 The upper paper path in the Transport Module carries the paper from the Paper Trays to the upper paper path of the digital press. The lower paper path in the Transport Module carries the paper from the lower paper path in the digital press to the upper paper path in the digital press when duplexing.
Overview Paper Path in the Digital Press The Paper Path in the digital press transfers an image to the paper and fuses it for both the simplex and duplex selections. It has two areas, the upper Paper Path and the lower Paper Path. The upper Paper Path is used for both simplexing and duplexing. The lower Paper Path is used for duplexing only. Horizontal Transport 1 decurls the paper when printing duplex.
O v e r v ie w Exit Module Figure 3-31 A completed print passes through the Exit Module to the Offset Catch Tray. The Exit Module contains a Decurler that removes paper curl caused by the fusing process. The Exit Module also contains an Inverter which turns the paper over so that side 2 can print when duplexing or when face down output is selected.
Overview Relocating the digital press If the digital press must be relocated, call your Xerox customer representative. The Installation Planning procedure must be conducted for every new site.

4. Paper and Paper Trays Recommended Papers and Special Materials Refer to the Color Materials User Guide and the Recommended Materials List for paper guidelines. The Recommended Materials List is a downloadable file on www.xerox.com. Use the search parameters for your digital press name and follow the path until you reach the files that can be downloaded. Paper Handling For the best performance load paper with the seam side down in Trays 1 and 2 and seam side up in Tray 3.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s For reliable digital press operation and good print quality, Xerox recommends the following: Store Paper: • On a flat surface. Do not store paper directly on the floor, since that increases the possibility of moisture absorption. Paper should be stored on pallets, or shelves or in cabinets in an area protected from extremes of temperature and humidity. • In a low dust area. • In a low humidity area.
P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s Paper Trays 1, 2, and 3 Paper Trays 1, 2, and 3 are standard Paper Trays and hold the paper supply for the digital press.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s The following figure shows the paper paths for Trays 1, 2, and 3.
P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s Paper Guidelines For the best results, remember the following: • Do not load paper or other materials above the MAX line. • Do not use wrinkled, torn, curled, or folded paper. • Use the recommended paper sizes and weights. • Do not mix sizes or weights of paper in a paper tray. • Ensure that the tray indicator LEDs are set for the correct weight range. • Follow the Recommended Materials List suggestions found at: www.xerox.

P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s Paper Tray Special Features Special features help control the environmental conditions in the paper trays to ensure optimum print capability: • Paper Trays 1 and 2 have optional heater kits available. • Paper Tray 3 has a heater underneath the paper tray that can be activated by your Xerox service representative. • Paper Tray 3 has two blowers.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s Tray Capacity Paper Trays 1 and 2 have a capacity of 550 sheets of 24 pound (90 g/m2) paper. Paper Tray 3 has a capacity of 2200 sheets of 24 pound (90 g/m2) paper. Curl When the paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the heat source. High coverage jobs tend to curl more due to the toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the paper path called decurlers.
P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s Transparency Guidelines Transparencies can be run ONLY from Tray 3. • Load transparencies into Tray 3 with the paper stripe side facing DOWN and with the stripe as the leading edge. (The leading edge is the edge that feeds into the digital press first.) • • Do not mix paper and transparencies in Tray 3. Jams may occur. Ensure that Transparency is selected in the weight section on the paper tray.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s Drilled Paper 3-hole drilled paper runs from Trays 1, 2, and 3. Drilled paper should be run in the Simplex (1-sided) and Duplex (2-sided) orientations shown below to avoid paper jams caused by the holes not aligning correctly with the paper sensor in the press. Simplex Print Jobs Load the drilled paper into Trays 1, 2, or 3 Long Edge Feed (LEF) with the holes at the lead edge position.
P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s Letterhead Different inks and dry inks/toners are used to produce preprinted letterhead that may not pass through the digital press intact. Refer to the Specialty Media Guide that came with your documentation for information on using preprinted letterhead paper. Nonstandard Size Paper Nonstandard Size Paper, including 7.2 to 12.6 inch (LEF) or 7.2 to 19.2 inch (SEF), can be loaded into Tray 3. Ensure that Nonstandard Size Paper is selected on Tray 3.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s Auto Tray Switching When Auto Tray Switching (ATS) (this feature may not be available with your configuration) is activated in the Tools Mode, the digital press automatically switches to another tray containing paper of the identical size, weight, type, and feeding orientation (SEF or LEF) when the tray being used is empty. Refer to the System Administration Guide (see page 2-36) for the instruction on enabling ATS.
P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s Loading Paper 1 2 Pull out the tray slowly until it stops. Load the correct size paper into the tray in the correct feeding orientation. Refer to the orientation labels on each tray. Note: Do not load materials above the MAX line located on the Edge Guide. • Load the paper seam side (the side on which the ream of paper is sealed) down in Tray 1 and Tray 2. • Load the paper seam side (the side on which the ream of paper is sealed) up in Tray 3.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s Figure 4-6 3 4- 1 4 Adjust the paper guides by pressing in the guide release and carefully moving the Edge Guide until it lightly touches the edge of the material in the tray.
P ap e r an d P a pe r Tr a y s 4 Although Trays 1, 2, and 3 have auto size detection capability, the paper weight (g/m2) range must be selected on the Weight Indicator. Selecting the correct paper weight range affects the feed performance and Image Quality. Press the selection button until the light next to the correct weight is illuminated. Tray 1 has a chart which converts pounds into g/m2 for easy selection, or refer to the Paper Weight Conversion Tables in this chapter.
P ap e r a nd Pa p er Tr a y s 5 In addition to designating the correct paper weight for Tray 3, select Nonstandard or Standard paper and Coated or Uncoated paper.

7. Problem solving When a problem occurs with your digital press, instructions appear on the Touch Screen. Refer to the information in this chapter to help resolve the problem. General problems If the digital press has a loss of power and you cannot access the Machine Details tab to get the serial number, open the two main front doors. The serial number label is in the center of the bottom frame of the digital press. Problem The digital press does not power on. (Continued on next page.
P r ob l em s ol v i n g Problem Suggested solutions The digital press does not power on (continued). • Check the GFI circuit breaker switch. • If the power in your location is working properly, you have tried the suggested solutions, and the digital press power does not power on, call for assistance. Prints are not on desired paper size. • Ensure that the proper paper is loaded in the paper trays. • Select the paper size, tray and weight through the digital press options on your PC.
P r o b l em s o l vi n g Problem The Control Panel Touch Screen does not respond to a touch command. Suggested Solution • Press Clear All on the Control Panel. • Touch a selectable button on the Touch Screen. A slight pressure is required to cause the digital press with scanner to react. • If the problem persists, open the Front Door of the digital press with scanner. Close the Front Door and make a selection on the Touch Screen.
P r ob l em s ol v i n g Problem Multiple sheets feed from the paper trays. Paper jams when exiting the Paper Trays Output jams when exiting the digital press to the Offset Catch Tray 7- 4 Suggested Solution • Do not fill the paper trays above the MAX fill line indicator. • Remove the paper from the tray and fan the sheets to separate the joined sheets. • Predrilled sheets may stick together at the holes. Remove the paper from the tray and fan the sheets to separate the joined sheets.
P r o b l em s o l vi n g Problem Suggested Solution Digital press with scanner does not make copies when Auto Paper is selected. For the Auto Paper selection to function correctly, the size of the original document must be the same size as the paper supply that is loaded in at least one of the trays. If not, select the paper tray size that best meets your needs. Or, if you wish to continue to use the Auto Paper feature, load one of the trays with the same size paper as the original document.
P r ob l em s ol v i n g Problem Excessive paper curl (continued). Moiré patterns on the copies The entire document is not being copied 7- 6 Suggested Solution Paper curl may be a result of: • Allow output to sit for awhile so any excess oil can evaporate before using them as original documents. • Copying high density background areas or documents with alternating high and low density areas results in more curl.
P r o b l em s o l vi n g Problem Scattered, very light show-through images occur when copying a document that is on thin paper. A black border appears. Suggested Solution • Select the Background Erase option in the Image Tone Presets feature in the Image Quality tab. • To eliminate the unwanted show-through images, place the thin (translucent) document on the Document Glass. Cover the document with a black (or very dark) sheet of paper that is the same size as the document you are copying.
P r ob l em s ol v i n g Problem Suggested Solution Copies made from photographs show color or background on output edges Most emulsions used to develop photographs have color. Sometimes this color shows on the border of the photograph. To prevent the color from being copied as part of the image or as background, use the Edge Erase feature on the Added Features tab to deliberately erase the unwanted color or background.
P r o b l em s o l vi n g Problem Suggested Solution • Increase the Sharpness. • Select the Text or Maps option in the Original Type feature. • Ensure that the document is held flat on the Document Glass and that the document cover is closed as much as possible. DO NOT force the cover closed. The image quality gradually degrades on successive copies, or copies made with settings used previously are significantly worse than copies you are making now.
P r ob l em s ol v i n g Problem Suggested Solution Corner Shift appears in the wrong area on the copy. Ensure the document is positioned on the Document Glass and the correct Corner Shift is selected. Large black borders appear on the copies with documents smaller than the copy paper size. • No shift is selected. Select the Auto Center feature to eliminate the black borders.
P r o b l em s o l vi n g Jam clearance If a jam occurs, the digital press stops printing and a message is displayed on the Touch Screen. Follow all instructions displayed completely and in sequence. Refer to this chapter for additional information to resolve the problem. If power is interrupted during the printing process, it is imperative that you clear all other jam areas before you open and clear areas behind the Right and Left Front Doors of the digital press.
