Convert to Output Color Space

When the checkbox is checked, the setting items related to colour conversion to the PDF output colour space (2nd stage of colour conversion) are displayed.

When the checkbox is cleared, the colour conversion to the PDF output colour space is not performed.

Note
  • When [Colour] pane - [Override Device Link Profile] is checked, the device link profile selected in [Override Device Link Profile] is applied in the 2nd stage of colour conversion, and the settings related to the PDF output colour space are disabled.
  • When the checkbox for this item is cleared, [Colour] pane - [Override Device Link Profile] is disabled.
  • This cannot be set if [Retag] is selected for [Colour Conversion Settings].

5

Output Colour Space

Click [] and select a PDF output colour space profile.

The profile selected here is used as the profile for colour conversion to the PDF output colour space (2nd stage), or as the embedded output intent.

Note
  • You can select an output colour space profile for PDF Export that is separate from the press colour space.
  • When outputting a vector PDF, a grey output colour space profile cannot be selected.
  • When a Cmyk-Cmyk device link profile (4-4 DLP) is selected in [Colour] pane - [Override Device Link Profile], select a Cmyk profile.
  • When a Cmyk-Gray device link profile (4-1 DLP) is selected in [Colour] pane - [Override Device Link Profile], select a Gray profile.
  • [] is displayed for a profile that was created with ColorPath Sync.

6

Object Type

Click [] and select the object type for which to set colour conversion.

Select from [Images], [Line Art], [Text], and [Smooth Shades].

Note
  • When [Adobe Basic] mode is selected in [Colour] pane, colour conversion cannot be set for each individual object type.

7

Use same settings for all types

When the checkbox is checked, the same settings are applied to all types.

Note
  • This function is appropriate for performing the same colour conversion at once regardless of object types.

8

Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space

Perform colour conversion to the PDF output colour space (2nd stage of colour conversion) using the profile of the output colour space. Displays setting values related to the PDF output colour space.

Note
  1. When [Generate Rasterised PDF] is checked in [PDF Export Settings] pane, [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is displayed.

9

Rendering Intent

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. Click [] and select a rendering intent.

Select from [Saturation], [Perceptual], [Relative Colorimetric], [Absolute Colorimetric], [Fujifilm Perceptual], and [Fujifilm Colorimetric].

Note
  1. When a grey profile is selected in [Output Colour Space], the selection of [Fujifilm Colorimetric] and [Fujifilm Perceptual] is not available.
  2. If an ICC profile that was created with ColorPath Sync is selected in [Output Colour Space], only [Fujifilm Perceptual] or [Fujifilm Colorimetric] can be selected.

10

Preserve 100% Black

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, colours for which K is 100% and CMY is 0% in the document colour space are not converted.

Note
  1. If this item is not used, colours formed by K only in the document colour space are converted to colours to be formed by not just K in the PDF output colour space. As a result, the target colour may not be reproduced accurately in output.

11

Preserve Black This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, the colour of CMYK (0, 0, 0, K) for the document colour space is converted to (0, 0, 0, K'), and CMY are preserved unchanged at 0%.

12

Preserve 100% CMY This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, colours for which CMYK in the document colour space is (100, 0, 0, 0), (0, 100, 0, 0) or (0, 0, 100, 0) are not converted.

13

Preserve Pure Solid Colour This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, colours for which CMYK in the document colour space is (100, 100, 0, 0), (100, 0, 100, 0) or (0, 100, 100, 0) are not converted.

14

Preserve Pure Colour

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. When the checkbox is checked and K in the document colour space is 0%, conversion is performed that converts CMY while maintaining K at 0%.

For example, when the CMYK values are 100, 80, 10, and 0 for each, the values after colour conversion become 98, 82, 11, and 0.

Note
  1. Primary colours indicates the 3 primary colours of process colours C (Cyan), M (Magenta), and Y (Yellow), and secondary colours indicates R (Yellow+Magenta), G (Yellow+Cyan), and B (Cyan+Magenta).
  2. If this item is not set, the 0% K in the document colour space may become slight screening in the PDF output colour space. As a result, the target colour may not be reproduced accurately in output.

15

Specify Ink Limit

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected. The default setting automatically limits the ink based on the output profile.

Check the checkbox to display a list of ink limits. Click [] and select a value. You can select a value from 260% to 400%, in increments of 10%.

Note
  1. When a value displayed with "*" (300%, 320% or 360%) is selected, the same table as previous versions is used.
  2. When the same profile is selected for input and output and a Fujifilm rendering intent is specified, the manually specified ink limit is only applied when a setting other than [400%] is selected.
  3. The settings for this item are common settings for all the object types. Even if you select and set an individual object type, the setting is also applied to all the other object types.

16

Preserve Black Density

Preserve Black Tint

This is displayed only when [Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] is selected, and [Fujifilm Colorimetric] is selected in [Rendering Intent].

Preserve Black Density: Converts to maintain the black density (colour depth) before/after colour conversion. This setting is appropriate for setting priority to black coloration.

Preserve Black Tint: Converts to maintain the black tint value of black separation (physical ink usage) before/after colour conversion. This setting is appropriate for setting priority to black tone scale.

Note
  1. Black indicates K.
  2. This function is more effective when input data includes lots of highlight and shadow portions. For data with lots of halftone, the desired effect may not be achieved.

17

Use Device Link Profile

Perform colour conversion to the PDF output colour space (2nd stage of colour conversion) using the device link profile.

When selected, [Device Link Profile] is displayed.

18

Device Link Profile

This can only be set when [Use Device Link Profile] is selected. Click [] and select a device link profile to use.

Note
  • When the PDF output colour space is CMYK, a Cmyk-Cmyk device link profile (4-4 DLP) can be selected. When the colour space is grey, a Cmyk-Gray device link profile (4-1 DLP) can be selected.

19

Check Document Colour Space Consistency

Displayed when [Convert to Output Color Space] is not checked.

When the 2nd stage of colour conversion is omitted, output is performed with the document colour space. But because the document colour space can be set for each individual section or page, it may not be consistent within the same surface. This item is used to prevent this problem.

When the checkbox is checked, the consistency of the document colour space set for each page is checked within the same surface.

Note
  1. When outputting a Finished PDF/X, only this item can be set.
Caution

When a vector PDF is output from [PDF Export], if an overprint object comprised only of a K separation with CMY separation colour values of 0 is broken down into CMY, the object disappears. (All the colour values of the CMYK separations become 0.) To perform such colour conversion, set colour conversion as shown below, or use a device link profile that produces the same results as the settings below.

Note

[Use ICC Profile for Output Color Space] and [Use Device Link Profile] can only be selected when the corresponding profile is registered.

The ColorPath Sync linked function is only provided in North America and Europe.
