Color emulation
Your printer can emulate the color behavior of other devices: RGB devices such as monitors, and CMYK devices
such as presses and printers.
You can set color emulation in the following ways:
●
In the Windows PostScript driver dialog: select the Color tab, and Printer Managed Colors.
●
In the Mac OS X Print dialog: select the Color Options panel, then select Printer Emulation from the
Color Management list.
For a good emulation, the printer needs a specication of the colors these devices can reproduce. The
standard way of encapsulating such information is in ICC proles. As part of the solution, we provide the most
common standards for the dierent devices.
The options are as follows.
CMYK color emulation
A traditional workow denes color in the CMYK space. For best results, the colors must be adjusted to the
printer, because dierent printers will produce dierent colors from the same CMYK data. If the image le you
are printing was not created specically for your printer, it will require some readjustment, which can be done
using one of the following options provided with your printer.
●
None (Native): no emulation. The printer will use its default internal conversion from CMYK to RGB,
without following any color standard. This does not imply that results will be bad
