Konica Minolta micropress release 6 User Manual

These sliders modify the color cast or hue of an entire job or a selected page or page range 

without having to re-RIP the job or start over from the application software. 
The table below describes the options.

ColorCurves complete the color adjustment flexibility of PostRipped files by allowing you to 

create custom color reproduction curves and apply them to a job. Once created, a Color-

Curve is available to all color jobs in the PSM and can be saved and loaded on other Micro-

Press installations.
Click Edit Curve button to open the ColorCurve dialog. If you selected a ColorCurve in the 

ColorCurve Calibration Set box, the curve will be displayed for editing. Otherwise, select 

ÎOpen… to select a curve.

ColorCurve allows changes to be made to 4 curves (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). The bot-

tom axis represents the original job color density (input) from 0 to 100%. The vertical axis 

represents the printed job color density (output) from 0 to 100%. When a curve or a point on 

a curve has higher output values than input values (the curve is above the 1:1 reference 

line), the printed job will increase in density according to the percentage(s). When the curve 

is below the 1:1 line, the printed job density will decrease. Change the curve shape by select-

ing and dragging a curve point with the mouse.

Note: ColorCurves provide additional color adjustment control. Color adjustment refers to the practice of altering 
color according to customer preference. Use color calibration (Gammatic) and color matching (ICC Profile Pro-
cessor) prior to printing to ensure the best possible rendering before adjustments are made
