The ColorWise color management system provides complete color management for jobs 
printed from office applications and other applications that do not generate PostScript. This 
chapter provides instructions for printing color documents from 

 applications, such as presentation, spreadsheet, and word processing 

applications. Use these instructions with the Microsoft Office applications.

The Color Server must receive PostScript instructions to print an image or a document. Many 
applications do not create these PostScript instructions, relying on the printer driver to create 
them. Included in this category are most word processing, spreadsheet, and 

 applications. These applications use Windows 

 to display and print when 

running Windows, and Apple 

 to display and print when running Mac OS.

applications.

All office applications handle color similarly, using the same RGB color model used for the 
color monitor. Most office applications allow you to choose colors from a palette of 
preselected colors. Some allow you to add new colors to the palette using a color picker. 
Although some applications allow you to specify color using the CMY, HSL, and HSV color 
models, these applications always send RGB color data to the Color Server. 
(An exception to this is a CMYK EPS file placed in the document, which is sent as 
CMYK data.)

When working with color in office applications, consider the following:

• The range of colors that can be displayed in RGB on your monitor is much larger than the 

range of colors that can be printed on your printer. When you print the document, 
out-of-gamut RGB colors are mapped to the colors your printer can produce.

• Office applications send only RGB data to the Color Server. You control the rendering 

style of the color conversion with your selection of a 

.

Each CRD uses a different color rendering style and has a different way of mapping 
unprintable colors to the color gamut of your printer. For more information about color 
rendering styles, see
