Using Color Management Workflows
Choosing colors
When working with color materials, whether they are presentations, illustrations, 
or complicated page designs, you make aesthetic decisions about the colors you use. 
After you set a goal, you must make the best use of the capabilities of your 
Color Server to realize your design in print. Your color printing system becomes an ally 
in this creative process to the extent that results are predictable:
• If you designed a poster to print on the Color Server, you want the printed colors to 
match the design specification.
• If you are printing presentations on the Color Server, you want to preserve the vivid 
colors you see on your monitor.
• If you are working with color that is to be printed on an offset press, you want 
the Color Server output to match other 
swatch books.
The colors that you define when creating a file in an application, and the color 
management tools within the application that you use, impact how the file is processed 
(workflow) and the final output you can expect. 
Use color management to control color output by:
• Selecting a color model—different types of applications use different color models. 
The color model you select, and whether or when data is converted from one color 
model to another, influences the final color output.
• Optimizing for output type—the type of final output influences your color and 
application choices.
• Using color matching tools—the Color Server provides several tools to preview 
colors available on a device and define them within an application.
