Key features of ColorWise
 
ColorWise
 
 is the second-generation 
 
color management system
 
 (CMS) built into the 
Fiery and designed to provide both casual and expert users the best color output for a 
variety of purposes. The ColorWise default settings were specifically selected to provide 
great out-of-box color from many applications and Windows and Mac OS platforms. 
This means that casual users can get good quality output without knowing about or 
changing any color settings on the Fiery.
To get consistent color, you should be sure the Fiery is calibrated on a regular basis. 
ColorWise Pro Tools include a simple-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate 
using either the scanner that comes with the copier or an optional densitometer (see 
Chapter 3).
There are a number of features you can use to modify printing results. Depending on 
your particular needs, you can:
• Set the behavior of CMYK printing to emulate DIC, Euroscale, and SWOP offset 
press standards
• Match PANTONE colors for the best match when printed using four-color press 
conditions or when printed using presses with extra, custom plates
