1.4.3 Creating a page setup
Once your desired device types are available for selection in the Page Setup dialog
box, you can create a page setup for the device.
The way in which you create a page setup depends on the Harlequin RIP version that
you are using. In the Eclipse Release or later of the Harlequin RIP, instant color man-
agement is possible by simply selecting a ProofReady profile. See Section 1.4.3.2 on
page 15 for details.
In former RIPs, instant color management is possible by selecting a supplied calibra-
tion profile that includes a default color setup. See Section 1.4.3.1 below for details.
Note: In Eclipse Release or later RIPs, an extra level of control has also been added to
the configuration of ProofReady plugins.There are now three ways in which the
ProofReady plugin can be used in such RIPs:
• Users can use automatic color management by simply selecting a profile from
the
ProofReady menu and using default settings, as described in Section 1.4.3.2
on page 15.
• Users can choose a
ProofReady profile and change the default settings used by
creating a new separations style and a new ’ProofReady’ color setup and select-
ing them from the
Style and Color menus. This option allows users to change
settings, such as those for recombine and overprinting, while using the default
ProofReady profiles. See Section 1.7 on page 34 for further details.
• Users can create a ColorPro color setup, which allows them to configure all the
color management settings, including the input and output profiles used. Users
must choose
(None) from the ProofReady menu to enable the selection of a
ColorPro color setup. See Section 1.9 on page 46 for further details.
1.4.3.1 Creating a page setup in pre Eclipse Release RIPs
To create a ProofReady page setup in versions of the Harlequin RIP v.5.x you need to
select a supplied calibration profile that includes a default color setup, as described in
the procedure below.
