Oce ColorWave 600 User Manual

Set the 'Alignment' mode
Introduction
You can optimize the print productivity by reducing the distance the print carriage needs
to travel to print the output. To do so you can align the image to the top-right hand
corner of
 the sheet.
You can

 choose 
the following alignment settings. #

Color Management
What is Color management?
Definition
The color management settings help you to reproduce the colors of your input as precisely
as possible on the printed output.
With 
the color management settings you define how to convert the color-information of
the file you 
want to print (input color space; RGB or CMYK color space) to the output
color 
space of the Océ ColorWave 600 (CMYK color space). This conversion can require
approximations in

 order to preserve the image's most important...

What is an input profile / standardization?
Definition
An input profile / standardisation defines what colour space you must use to interpret
the colour information of the file you 
want to print in a correct manner.
The 
two main input profiles (colour spaces) are the following.
• RGB
The 
RGB colour space is based on the RGB colour model. RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
is a
 suitable colour model 
for computer graphics because the human visual system
operates in
 a similar manner.
The

 RGB colour space is an...

You can define the input profile if you use the 'Color feel' setting 'Océ enhanced colors'.
The table below gives an overview of the possible input profiles / standardisation settings.

Description
Input profile / standardis-
ation
Use this setting to indicate the colour space of a standard
computer monitor. sRGB is the most frequently used
RGB colour space, especially in consumer grade digital
cameras. 
sRGB is acceptable for most consumer applica-
tions. The sRGB design allows easy...

This setting uses an offset press standard often used in
the
 US for printing separations and proofs on uncoated
media.

What is Color feel?
Definition
With the 'Color feel' setting you can fine-tune the look and feel  of the printed colors.
The 
'Color feel' setting defines the color space conversion method. #
Description
'Color feel'
Use this setting to get a print with bright, saturated
colors.
Advised for vector drawings (like HP-GL).
All 

primary and secondary colors are clean, because
they 
are printed with pure inks. This is clearly
visible if
 
you look at the color yellow that is
printed...

Description
'Color feel'
Use this setting to get a print with colors similar
to 
a non-Océ printer that prints without color
correction.
'Simulated non-Océ printer: no
color correction'
Use this setting if your color management is com-
pletely done by the application that generated the
print file.
If the

 color management is not handled 
correctly
by the application, possible problems are: • - 

blue will be purplish (like in most other inkjet
printers)
• - raster-file information (like...

What are Rendering intents?
Definition of rendering intents
Normally the color space of a print file is larger than the Océ ColorWave 600 color space.
In 
other words, the input color space is larger than the output color space. Consequently
some 
of the defined input colors will be outside the Océ ColorWave 600 color space.
These 
"out-of-gamut colors" are called a gamut mismatch. When a gamut mismatch occurs, the rendering intent setting decides what qualities of
the image

 it should...

'Perceptual (photo)'
#
This setting optimizes the output to produce best results for photos, artwork, GIS
or
 images.
Perceptual 
 rendering tries to preserve some relationship between out of gamut colors,
even 
if this results in inaccuracies for in-gamut colors. Chapter 8

'Saturation (business graphics)'
#
This setting optimizes the output of bright, saturated colors.
Saturation rendering
 intent preserves saturated colors, and is advised if you 
try to
keep color purity in 
computer graphics. Pure saturated colors in the original RGB
device
 will still 
be saturated colors in the output color space, even if this results in
relatively more
 extreme colors.
Saturation rendering

 intent is not advised for photos, because this setting does not

to keep color...
