Setting Parameters in the Job Parameters Window

Use the 

CMYK workflow parameter to specify the required rendering intent for 

CMYK elements. All printers, monitors, and scanners have a range of colors 
(gamut) that they can output (or view, in the case of a scanner). If a color needs to 
be output and is outside the gamut of the output device, it must be mapped to 
another color that exists within the gamut.

Use rendering intent to compress out-of-gamut colors into the color capability of 
the press you are using. You can select any rendering intent value for CMYK 
elements from the 

Rendering intent list. The default value for CMYK is Relative 

Colorimetric.

In addition, you can emulate the paper tint and adjust the white point value of the 
used paper stock. For example, if you want to simulate pink paper while using white 
paper, use the corresponding emulation profile and select 

tint.

The 

CMYK workflow parameter is also used to specify the desired rendering intent 

for CMYK elements.

1.

In the 

CMYK Profile list, select the desired CMYK profile.

2.

In the 

Rendering intent list, select the desired option.

3.

To emulate the original paper tint, select the 

Emulate paper tint check box. 

4. Select the 

Preserve pure colors check box to preserve pure cyan, magenta, 

yellow, and black during transformation.

By default, the Spire CX260 searches the spot color dictionary for the correct value 
each time there is a spot color with a recognized name.

Note:  The system emulates the selected option during the RIP process. 
GCR and CMYK emulation do not affect the processed job.

•

If you selected 

 as the emulation method, 

 is unavailable because a rendering intent is already defined for 

each device link emulation.

•

Custom CMYK Device Link emulations are available only if you have the 
Pro Basic or Pro Control Station configuration.

•

The 

check box is available only if you select 

as the CMYK profile.

•

When you select the 

check box, the Spire CX260 

applies the absolute colorimetric rendering method.

•

When you select the 

check box, the 

 check box is selected by default.

•

If the job is simplex, only the front side is printed using the tint 
emulation.

•

Paper tint emulations are available only if you have the Pro Basic or Pro 
Control Station configuration.
