2-4 Simple and Advanced Workflows
If printed colors are your priority, choose colors from printed samples. By using these
sample colors, your printed output will remain consistent regardless of how the colors
appear on different monitors. Print the palette of available colors from business
applications and then select colors from the printed samples. Fiery 3850C Color
reference files are included on the User Software CD (see page 5-2). You can also print
color charts from the Control Panel and select colors by number or name from the
printed samples. Advanced applications let you define colors in the easier-to-control
PANTONE and CMYK color spaces. See Chapter 5 for more advice on color
selection.
No matter which workflow most closely matches your own, you should calibrate your
printer regularly (see Chapter 3).
Select a short workflow
Every time colors are converted, performance and color accuracy are affected.
Therefore, a workflow with fewer steps minimizes the risk of error.
Workflow 1 using ColorWise calibration—minimal workflow
A minimal color workflow requires that you calibrate the printer. Select from printed
colors as described above, and set the CMYK Simulation option to None, since
simulation is not needed when colors are already defined using CMYK values
optimized for your calibrated printer.
NOTE: CMYK Simulation set to None is also useful when you want to prepare an
output profile of your calibrated printer or when you use less efficient color
management from the desktop (such as ColorSync or ICM).
In this workflow, colors are modified only at the calibration stage. This is indicated by
the black box in the diagram below.
