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 

 or PANTONE color 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 performing the following tasks:

• Select 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.

• Optimize for output type: The type of final output influences your color and application 

choices.

• Use color matching tools: The Color Server provides several tools to preview colors 

available on a device and define them within an application.
