6-1 Working with office applications
The Fiery 3850C ColorWise color management system provides complete color
management for jobs printed from office applications. This chapter provides
instructions for printing color documents from GDI and QuickDraw applications
such as presentation, spreadsheet, and word processing programs. You can use these
instructions with the Microsoft Office applications.
Working with office applications
Before printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate printer driver and
the Fiery 3850C PPD are installed on your computer, as described in Getting Started.
Defining colors
Office applications use the RGB color model. For instructions on defining colors, see
“Choosing colors in office applications” on page 5-4.
The only way to use CMYK or PANTONE colors is to define them in EPS files with
an illustration or page layout application, and then place these files into office
documents. Colors in EPS files are preserved until they reach the Fiery 3850C
(assuming no PostScript Color Management information was included.)
Office applications lack finesse when displaying EPS files, so use these files only if RGB
colors are not practical in your specific workflow. EPS files are also useful when using
large or complex images that need to be printed at full resolution or cannot fit some
Microsoft Office configurations with limited memory.
Working with imported files
Although your application may allow you to import a variety of file formats, EPS files
are recommended for all raster images you want to import; some applications have
printing problems when using file formats such as TIFF and PICT.
NOTE: You may have to perform a “custom install” of your office application if you are
unable to import EPS elements.
