2.DocuSP color managementColor management is a process of attempting to match colorsacross input (scanners, digital cameras), display (computermonitors), and output devices (color printers).Hardware devices such as Spectrophotometers for calibrationand software tools such as color profiles, tone reproductioncurves (TRCs) and color tools are used to match or adjust colorto achieve a quality color image.Spectrophotometers are used to calibrate data for the printengine. Calibration data is used to adjust color balance for stockby halftone.Color management software converts RGB and CMYK inputcolor profiles to the color gamut of a specific output device.DocuSP supports the traditional CMYK workflow as well as theICC Profile workflow.TRCs and other color tools allow you to make custom coloradjustments, fine tuning the color image.DocuSP provides the software color management tools you canuse to produce quality color output.Refer to the DocuSP on-line help system for detailed informationand step-by-step usage procedures for all tools and processespresented in this guide.Queue overridesAn override can be set for many of the queue properties inQueue Manager. A selected override property is applied to alljobs submitted to that queue, regardless of job or job ticketsettings.Color Management Guide2-1
DocuSP color managementColor workflowsA color image follows a path as it is converted from an input colorprofile to the output CMYK of the print engine. Factors thatdetermine the path are: the characteristics and type of the input profile conversions needed for the output profile of the print engine enhancements made by you, the userColor path chartsJobs take one of five paths through the DocuSP controller.Whenever possible, you should use the Xerox Enhanced Pathwhich provides the highest quality color for incoming SWOP CMYK color and faster RIP speed.The color path chart (see Figure 2-1. Simplified DocuSP ColorWorkflow) displays the paths different documents take as theymove through the DocuSP color management system and areprocessed for print.The paths are:2-2 ICC Standard Path Xerox Enhanced Path CMYK Native Path Fast Reprint Path PANTONE PathColor Management Guide
DocuSP color managementFigure 2-1. Simplified DocuSP Color WorkflowICC standard pathJobs undergo a color transformation to an independent colorspace before color transformation to the DocuSP print engineCMYK color space. This path requires more RIP time as thecolor is transformed from Input (such as RGB or input CMYK) toProfile Connection Space (PCS) to output CMYK or SWOP CMYK. The K channel will not be preserved for incoming CMYKdata.The chief benefit of using this path is its ease of use.The following conditions guarantee a job follows the ICCstandard path: A user output profile has been assigned to the job. A color adjustment (lightness, contrast, saturation, color cast,trapping, black overprint, or anti-aliasing) has been set for thejob.Color Management Guide2-3
DocuSP color management The incoming job contains embedded profiles that result inthe printer driver creating a Color Space Array (CSA) for thecolor data. These PDL instructions are honored by thesystem.Xerox enhanced pathIncoming RGB or CMYK data uses the DocuSP Xerox EnhancedPath Look Up Table (LUT) or Emulation LUT when performingthe SWOP CMYK to DocuSP print engine CMYKtransformation.Benefits of using this path include: Faster RIP time via use of the LUTs as contrasted with theICC Path. This path preserves the Black (K) channel and Blackdarkness.Look Up Tables provide a quick, effective translation from thesource space to the specific printer’s CMYK space. These tablesare faster because the CMYK values are translated directly tooutput space, instead of first being translated to deviceindependent space and then to the print-engine-specific space.RGB data is converted using 3 x 4 LUTs.4 x 4 LUTs provide direct CMYK to CMYK mapping, preservingblack. When pure black is passed through a source profile (ICCprofile path), it is converted to XYZ. Once in XYZ, there is no wayfor the color management system to know that the color wasoriginally pure black. Thus, pure K is converted to a CMYKcombination (Gray Component Removal, or GCR, is involved inthis process). In contrast, the 4 x 4 tables recognize pure K andoutput the appropriate K for the source-to-destination mapping.The following conditions guarantee a job follows the Xeroxenhanced path:2-4 The incoming job is untagged and using a pre-installedoutput profile. A Xerox stock is programmed for the job A non-Xerox stock that is a member of an unaltered Xeroxcolor group is programmed for the job A Xerox output color profile, included with the system, hasbeen assigned to the jobColor Management Guide
DocuSP color managementCMYK Native pathColor management is performed within the application usingDocuSP output color ICC profiles to create jobs composed withthe DocuSP print engine CMYK color profile. These jobs are sentdirectly to the RIP with no color transformations, assuming youhave not programmed any color adjustments.Documents destined for this path MUST be designed using theappropriate CMYK color space for the DocuSP destination printengine. This is usually achieved by using the CMYK destinationprofile for the destination media/engine combination.Benefits of using this path include: Fastest RIP performance of any of the paths Color will be consistent throughout, since the job is createdand submitted expressly for the specific print engineFast Reprint pathFast Reprint jobs, accessed through Reprint Manager, are savedusing “Print and Save” or “Save” commands when processingthe job. Fast Reprint jobs do not require re-RIPping. Colormanagement properties are set prior to saving the job.The only color change that can be applied to a job on the FastReprint path is a User TRC.Benefits of using this path include: No need to re-submit jobs Fast print times (achieving engine-rated speed) since the RIPis bypassed on reprint No need to reset Color Management propertiesNOTE: Calibration TRCs and User TRCs may be applied tothe reprint job, since TRC processing is done in thehardware.PANTONE pathAn incoming job is scanned by the controller and, if the jobcontains PANTONE calls, the PANTONE path is invoked. Thejob’s color information is processed using a pair of Look UpTables (one for Coated and one for Uncoated) and then passesdirectly to the printer output, bypassing all other color processingexcept for User TRCs.Color Management Guide2-5
DocuSP color managementColor ManagerColor Manager provides access to color management tools forcalibration, characterization, assigning color profiles, managingcolor groups, creating and applying TRCs, and importing orexporting ICC profiles.AssociationsThe Associations tab provides a list of stocks, their properties,date last calibrated, and the assigned profile.CalibrationCalibration is used to return the print engine to a standardcondition insuring color consistency for each stock or colorgroup. For more in-depth information regarding calibration, seechapter 3.New StockDestination color profiles are required for each stock or colorgroup.Stocks added from the catalog (Xerox Qualified Stocks) willautomatically be placed in the proper color group.New custom stocks will automatically be placed in the defaultcolor group.Assign profileEach stock is automatically assigned to a profile based on itscolor group.Color profiles can be assigned to any stock or color group,including pre-defined stocks.New color group (stock group)Stocks are assigned groups based upon their whitepoint. Anystock in the group can be calibrated, and the resulting TRCs areassigned to all stocks in the color group.2-6Color Management Guide
DocuSP color managementNOTE: You should calibrate a stock that best represents theother stock in the group; therefore, you should calibrate using astock that has a whitepoint at about the median of the stocks inthe group.It is recommended that most users confine their use of colorgroups to the 3 pre-installed groups. This method providesexcellent color results with relatively little user intervention.For a more in-depth discussion of color groups, see chapter 3:Calibration.Color profilesThe Color Profiles tab provides a list of color profiles (bothsource and destination) with their descriptions.User TRCsUser Tone Reproduction Curves (TRCs) provide the skilled userwith a tool for adjusting the individual CMYK color separations inan image and saving those adjustments for use on other images.The User TRCs tab provides a list of user-created TRCs andallows you to create new TRCs.Color toolsColor tools allow you to make adjustments that impact the colorcharacteristics of a print job. Color tools can affect jobs orqueues, if assigned at the controller, or can be assigned by anapplication at the client workstation.Print engine specific modeSelected at the queue level, the print engine or product specificmode is unique to each Xerox color print engine and optimizesperformance for that print engine. Print engine specific modeprovides the best possible default color interpretation andrendering values for the widest range of images.Color Management Guide2-7

Lightness controls the relative brightness or darkness of thecolor image. Contrast is the ratio between the light tones and dark tonesin an image. Saturation controls the strength or purity of the color image. Color Cast adjustments provide you with the ability toincrease or decrease the amount of a single color in animage. User TRCs are created to provide a consistent colorrendering based upon a given set of properties. TRCs aresaved and applied to jobs.Image quality toolsImage quality tools provide you a means to improve imagequality. 2-10Trapping compensates for misregistration that creates whitegaps and shifted hues.Color Management Guide
DocuSP color management Black Overprint compensates for the band of white that mayappear when black text is printed directly on top of a color.NOTE: Black Overprint produces sometimes-unexpectedresults using iGen3, due to its unique technology. Therefore,you should avoid using this feature on the iGen3. Anti-aliasing reduces the jagged appearance of lines andcurves in text and line art.Expert colorExpert color contains a set of tools for the skilled user to optimizecolor quality. The Source color tab provides access to a list of source colorprofiles. This selection is used to translate undefined data inthe incoming job. DocuSP honors embedded source profiles. The Output color tab provides access to a set of tools thatare applied as part of the color transformation from the deviceindependent space to the print engine CMYK space.– Halftones are screen patterns achieved by printing dotsor lines in a specific pattern. The distance between thedots is fixed. Dot size varies in accordance to the strengthof the color. The darker the color the larger the dot.Halftones supported on the iGen3 include 150 dot, 175dot, 200 dot and stochastic screens. The DC 20xx/60xxseries supports 150 dot, 200 dot, 200 line, 300 line, and600 line screens.Stochastic halftones randomly apply screens when thedifference in tone varies by different concentrations ofdots and by dot sizes.– Image ResampleInterpolation is a method to achieve maximum imagequality. Interpolation estimates a value of functionbetween two known values and attempts to produce asmooth transition between adjacent samples rather thanreplicating pixels which would result in “blocky” images.The supported interpolation methods include:Nearest neighborBi-linearSmartColor Management Guide2-11
DocuSP color managementNOTE: These image resample methods are detailed inChapter 4: Using Color Tools.– OutputDestination Profiles convert PCS to CMYK.There are pre-defined destination profiles for GCR(Gray Component Replacement). GCR replacesequivalent percentages of the gray component forcolors (CMY), replacing the gray with black. Thisconserves dry ink and prevents dry ink buildup.Emulation can be selected in place of destinationprofiles allowing you to select a color profile thatemulates a specific type of output profile for media or aprinting device.Rendering intent provides color mapping options.The available rendering intents are covered in detail inChapter 4: Using Color Tools and are as follows:SaturationPerceptualRelative ColorimetricAbsolute ColorimetricPurePrint as grayscalePrint as grayscale converts color content to gray. Refer to on-linehelp for the details, as well as for information on billing.Spot color editorDocuSP has a built-in color lookup table to map incoming spotcolor (PANTONE Coated or Uncoated) to the matchingPANTONE color created in DocuSP CMYK. If the PostScript orPDF file contains Uncoated, Process or ProSim color, the CMYKcolor representation is created using the color values in thePostScript file.The Spot Color Editor is provided allowing you to change thestandard DocuSP output for each PANTONE color.2-12Color Management Guide
DocuSP color managementThe Spot Color Editor tab is covered in more detail in Chapter 4:Using Color Tools.OPI (Open PrePress Interface)OPI is a process to replace low-resolution images with highresolution images at RIP time. This speeds up job submissiontime because you can submit a job with the low-resolutionimages much faster than with high-resolution images.OPI is covered in more detail in Chapter 4:Using Color Tools.DRIs (Display Resolution Images)The option exists in the Job: Properties tab to save the DRIsembedded in a job. This must be enabled to allow viewing andediting within a job at the DocuSP.Color Management Guide2-13

3.Stock Management and CalibrationColor DocuSP systems achieve high-quality color results due toan efficient and flexible stock management model. Stockassociations, calibration, and characterization are importantprocesses used for stock management.Calibration is a process that is used to return the print engine toa known standard to achieve and maintain consistent colorquality for each stock or color group and halftone.DocuSP calibration uses the X-Rite DTP41 Spectrophotometerto measure and adjust the gray balance of the CMYK coloroutput. You should calibrate the X-Rite DTP41 daily. Refer to theDocuSP on-line help for complete calibration instructions.Calibration is generally performed once for each color group/halftone combination. If you do not use a specific halftone forprinting, you need not calibrate it.Once a stock is calibrated, DocuSP saves that calibration andautomatically selects the latest calibration for the stock when thestock is required by a job. DocuSP can save up to fivecalibrations per stock. These saved calibrations are assigned tothe color group in which the stock resides, for use with any stockwithin that color group.CharacterizationCharacterization is the process of creating a destination colorprofile for stocks. Stocks have different characteristics such ascoated and uncoated, color, and weight which impact how colorappears on the sheet. For most users, characterization is notrecommended for a new stock; instead, you should place thenew stock in an existing color group.DocuSP comes with 3 pre-installed color groups, containingXerox Qualified Stocks. Xerox Qualified Stocks are automaticallypart of one of the pre-installed color groups and have adestination profile pre-assigned to them; therefore, they do notrequire characterization.Color Management Guide3-1
Stock Management and CalibrationNew or custom stocks may require characterization if youchoose to place them in a new color group. If the new or customstock is placed within one of the pre-installed color groups, thestock picks up the profile assigned to the color group. Each newor custom stock needs to be characterized only once. Thischaracterization is assigned to the color group and is invokedeach time the stock is selected for use in a job.Once created, a color profile is assigned to any stock within thecolor group.The three pre-installed color groups are: Bright White (L* 95) White (93.7 L* 95) Other (L* 93.7)NOTE: The L* values are white point values and can beobtained by looking at the ream wrapper and/or from themanufacturer.The three pre-installed color groups cannot be deleted; XeroxQualified Stocks may be removed from your Stock Library, butnot from the Stock Catalog. However, you may add new, nonXerox stocks to the existing stock groups. It is advantageous todo so, as long as the new stocks share the same white pointvalue.Additionally, it is suggested that you place any colored stocksyou wish to use in the Other group, although perfectly fine resultscan be achieved by placing all stocks in the white group. Whilethese suggestions may not seem to make sense, they work wellin practice. Most users who print on beige stock, or light bluestock, for instance, are generally willing to trade off maximumcolor consistency for the ability to produce good-looking prints onnon-standard media.An advantage to maintaining the “3-stock” model is that it limitscalibration to only three representative stocks. The “3-stock”model is recommended for most workflows, requiring a littlemore setup than the “unspecified” workflow but achieving bettercolor outcomes.3-2Color Management Guide
