Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery EX12 Dépliant

See simulation profile.

The simulation profile describes the 
color characteristics of another print 
device, such as a printing press, that 
you want the Fiery to simulate. 

A color rendering style intended for 
use when color accuracy is crucial. 
Unprintable colors are mapped to the 
closest printable colors. Solid color 
rendering does the best job of preserving 
the saturation of displayed colors.

The color environment of the 
originating source of an image, including 
scanners and color monitors. 

A profile used by the color management 
system to determine the characteristics of 
the color values specified in a source 
digital image.

The wavelengths of electromagnetic 
radiation emitted by a given light source 
that can be seen by the human eye. 

An instrument commonly used in the 
graphic arts industry to measure spectral 
light according to a specified standard.

A color that is printed on its own 
separation plate when separations are 
specified. A spot color is printed using a 
custom ink for that color, in contrast to 
process colors that are printed using 
combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, 
and black. 

A spectral response for graphic arts 
reflection densitometers defined by 
ANSI (the American National Standards 
Institute).

A system in which color is produced by 
combining colorants such as paint, inks, 
or dyes on media such as paper or 
transparent film or acetate. All printing 
devices use the subtractive color model.

Cyan, magenta, and yellow colorants 
used in subtractive color systems for 
color printing. Combining the 
subtractive primaries produces darker 
colors. Black is added to the subtractive 
primaries to compensate for deficiencies 
of the toners or inks, and for more 
efficient black printing.

In printing, the material upon which the 
job is printed.
