2-6 Simple and Advanced Workflows
Workflow 2 using ColorWise color management—standard workflow
ColorPASS servers are highly optimized for the specific copier they drive, and
ColorWise addresses many issues unique to your copier, including screens, individual
toner response, interactions among toners, natural smoothness of blends, and the
capability to render PANTONE and custom colors. The ColorPASS distinguishes text
and graphic from image elements, so the black channel information is preserved while
parameters used for CMYK color separations are maintained.
Conventional color management systems typically address only color conversions, and
they occupy your computer's processor. When you use ColorWise, jobs leave your
computer faster to be processed more quickly on the ColorPASS.
The recommended standard color workflow (indicated by the black boxes in the
diagram below) uses ColorWise calibration and color management.

The ColorPASS comes into play near the end of the color workflow. To ensure that the
colors you have selected reach the ColorPASS and ColorWise in a usable form, you
should bypass any color management from applications and printer drivers. Keep in
mind, however, that color management from applications and printer drivers is fully
supported by ColorWise (see "Advanced workflows" on page 2-9).
You must print with the CMYK Simulation print option set to match the CMYK
color space in your application when you selected the colors. Any CMYK Simulation
setting (except Match Copy) applies calibration, so the response of the copier will
appear to be stable.
The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are SWOP in America, Euroscale in
Europe, and DIC in Japan—choices that respect the color standard for each region. If
colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated copier, set CMYK Simulation
to None.
