22-18 Using Color Management WorkflowsColor Reference Guide for C9800 - 18Standard recommended workflowThe Fiery controller is highly optimized for the C9800. ColorWise addresses issuesunique to your printer, including screens, individual toner response, interactionsamong toners, natural smoothness of blends, and the capability to render spot andcustom colors. The Fiery distinguishes text and graphics from image elements, so thatblack channel information is preserved while parameters used for CMYK colorseparations are maintained.The recommended standard color workflow uses ColorWise calibration and colormanagement. The Fiery comes into play near the end of the color workflow.For this workflow:• Bypass any color management in the applications and printer drivers.This ensures that the colors you selected reach the Fiery and ColorWisein a usable form. Keep in mind, however, that ColorWise fully supports colormanagement from applications and printer drivers (see “Using ColorWise andapplication color management” on page 1-14).• Set the CMYK Simulation Profile option in ColorWise to match the CMYK colorspace used in the application to select the colors. Any CMYK Simulation setting(except Match Copy, if available) applies calibration, so the response of the printerwill appear to be stable.The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are SWOP in the U.S., Euroscalein Europe, and DIC in Japan—choices that reflect the color standard for eachregion. If colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated Fiery, set CMYKSimulation to None.• Set other ColorWise print options as appropriate. For a list and descriptions ofColorWise print options that affect CMYK, RGB, spot, and other colors, see theColor Guide Chapter 1.
