PostScript applications
PostScript applications
Most applications used for illustration, pixel editing, and page layout can create the 
PostScript information they send to PostScript printer or save in PostScript files. 
Illustrator, Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia FreeHand are all 
PostScript applications.
PostScript applications work with color in many different ways. Most allow you to 
choose process colors (by entering percentages for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), 
in addition to named colors from a custom color system, such as PANTONE. When 
you print composites, these applications send process-color equivalents for named spot 
colors 
to the printer. In some applications, you can also choose colors using the RGB, 
HSB, HSL, or other color models.
Generally, PostScript applications send color information to the Fiery 3850C as 
CMYK data. An exception to this is an RGB image placed in the document, which is 
sent directly to the Fiery 3850C (unless you specify special color management settings 
in the application.) In addition, some PostScript applications that allow you to define 
colors in RGB or other color models can also send data to the Fiery 3850C in those 
color spaces.
Color controls in PostScript applications are typically designed for printing on an 
offset press, and some adjustments are required for printing to the Fiery 3850C. 
Displayed versions of colors you choose in these applications may not match 
Fiery 3850C output exactly, and named colors may not print accurately on the 
Fiery 3850C, since these colors typically require custom inks. 
Choosing colors in PostScript applications
With PostScript applications, you can create colors using any of the color models 
supported by the application. All PostScript applications support CMYK; some also 
support RGB and other color models based on monitor display values. PostScript 
applications also allow you to choose named colors using one or more color libraries, 
such as PANTONE (see page 5-6).
You should use swatch color matching to ensure predictable color printing results with 
the Fiery 3850C or to match the Fiery 3850C color output to colors produced by 
other print devices.
