							Océ 'Enhanced colors: CMYK input data'
One of the options you have to finetune your output quality is to adjust the 'Color

If

 the 'Color Management' setting 'Color feel' is set to 
'Océ enhanced colors' you can
define the Océ 
'Enhanced colors: CMYK input data' setting. This setting simulates
printing
 to 
an offset press standard.

							Océ 'Enhanced colors: Rendering intent'
One of the options you have to finetune your output quality is to adjust the 'Color
Management'
 settings.
If

 the 'Color Management' setting 'Color feel' is set to 
'Océ enhanced colors' you can
define the Océ 
'Enhanced colors: Rendering intent' setting. Use this setting if the color
space
 
that your print file was made in does not fully comply with the color space of the
printer
 (color conversion).
Overview

 of the Océ'Enhanced colors: Rendering intent' settings. #
Description
'Enhanced colors: Rendering
intent'
This setting optimizes the output to produce best
results for photographic or scanned 
images.
'Perceptual (photo)'
This
 
setting optimizes the output of bright, satu-
rated
 colors.
'Saturation

 (business graphics)'
This
 
setting provides the highest accuracy in ren-
dering RGB 
colors into CMYK colors, including
rendering
 the source's white.
Note:
The slightly bluish cast of the monitor
background
 might be noticeable as bluish
white in 
the lightest tones of the printed
output.
 A slight yellow tone can 
occur in
the
 white tones 
of a PDF/TIFF original
or
 an HP-GL type document. 'Absolute colorimetric'

							Description
'Enhanced colors: Rendering
intent'
This setting provides a high accuracy in rendering
RGB colors into CMYK colors, but maps the
source's
 white to 
the media's white point, so that
any 
monitor background color cast is eliminated.
Though
 
the printed output will be colorful, this
setting
 may lead to 
a loss of contrast in the dark
areas.
 This setting is advised for business graphics
when 'Saturation (business graphics)' does not give
the required result.
Note:
If you generate a color scan-to-file job in
TIFF
 format on an Océ TCS400, an Océ
TCS500 or an Océ TDS450, 'Perceptual
(photo)' gives the best result. 'Relative colorimetric'
Note:
It is advised to use the default setting ('Perceptual (photo)') as specified in the Océ Express
WebTools 
or 'Relative colorimetric' to get the best overall result.

What is a media profile?
Definition A media profile is also called an Océ Media Profile (OMP file). The media profile contains
a number of preset values 
that give the best print result per media type for your system.
By default the system already has a number of media profiles available after installation,
but due to 
changes in the production methods for media, the profiles can also change
over 
time. When a new version is available you can retrieve the new profile from the
corporate web site.
Attributes For

 each 
media type the media profile optimizes a number of settings.
■ Mixing
 of colors (Cannot be modified).
■ Amount

 
of ink applied on the media (Cannot be modified).
■ Drying
 time correction.
■ Cut

 
length correction.
Example When
 you download a media profile from the corporate web site the file name can consist
of the following information.
  ColorWave300_Paper_1.3(IJM020_Version01).omp

							Input profiles
What is an input profile?
Definition
An input profile is also called an Océ Input Profile (OIP file).
The 
input profile changes the output of the printer to match the output of a simulated
printer
 (For 
example: 'Simulated Océ TCS400 CAD colors' ) on a certain media type
and
 print mode as 
much as possible. The input profiles are used for color management
of
 simulated printers.
By

 default the system already has a number of input profiles available after installation.
When

 a new version is available you can retrieve the new profile from the corporate web
site.
Attributes An input profile contains the following information:■ Color

 management profiles for the simulated printer
