Key features of ColorWise
 
ColorWise
 
 is the 
 
color management system 
 
(
 
CMS
 
)
 built into the Fiery X3eTY2 and 
designed to provide both casual and expert users with the best color output for a variety 
of purposes. The ColorWise default settings provide high-quality, out-of-box color from 
many Windows and Mac OS applications. This allows casual users to achieve quality output 
without knowing about or changing any color settings on the Fiery X3eTY2.
For consistent color, calibrate the Fiery X3eTY2 on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro Tools 
includes an easy-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using either the scanning unit 
that is part of the MFP or an optional 
 
spectrophotometer
 
 or 
 
densitometer
 
 
(see 
“Calibration”
 on page 44).
ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular needs, 
you can:
• Set the behavior of 
 
CMYK
 
 printing to emulate 
 
DIC
 
 
Euroscale
 
 
SWOP 
 
and so on, offset 
press standards.
• Match PANTONE and other 
 
spot colors
 
 for the best match when printing using 
four-color press conditions or presses with extra, custom plates.
• Select a
 
 color rendering dictionary
 
 (CRD), also called a rendering style, for 
 
RGB
 
 
printing. CRDs allow for rich, saturated printing of 
 
presentation graphics
 
, smooth, 
accurate printing of photographs, and relative or absolute colorimetric rendering for 
specialized needs.
• Define the source of incoming RGB color data for better color conversion of RGB data 
with no source information.
• Determine whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the MFP or is first 
converted into the gamut of another device, such as a press standard. This feature is useful 
for making one device behave like another. It also allows you to evaluate the appearance of 
an RGB file under different printing conditions without having to convert the RGB file to 
CMYK first.
 
ColorWise color management
 
 
(
 
ColorWise
 
)
 offers an open color architecture, allowing 
users to customize the Fiery X3eTY2 to meet new printing needs as they arise. ColorWise 
supports 
 
ICC profiles
 
, which are industry standard color profiles that describe the color 
behavior of a device. Note that ICC specification version 4 profiles (profile version 4.2.0.0) 
are supported as well as version 2. Downloading ICC profiles to the Fiery X3eTY2 enables the 
Fiery X3eTY2 to simulate a custom press (or another MFP), as well as accurately print colors 
from a particular monitor or scanner. In addition, you can create customized ICC profiles for 
the MFP.
ColorWise also allows you to use any 
 
Status T
 
 densitometer by importing data in a standard 
file format (see 
“Importing Density Measurements”
 on page 98). In this case, it is important 
to note that the quality of the instrument used determines the quality of the 
 
calibration
