ID Setting Description

1

Embed Output Colour Space Profile as `Output Intent'

Displayed when [Generic DP] or another digital press device is selected in [Device Parameters] pane.

When the checkbox is checked, the profile of the output colour space is embedded as the output intent.

The profile of the embedded output colour space varies as follows depending on the setting of [Convert to Proofer Color Space].

Checked: ICC profile of the proofer colour space

Cleared: ICC profile of the document colour space set in the page with the lowest number from the pages included in the output PDF

2

Use Job Settings This option performs colour conversion to the proofer colour space (3rd stage of colour conversion) using colour conversion settings of the job. Advanced settings for colour conversion to the proofer colour space can be configured.

3

Set Press Color Space as a Target

When the checkbox is checked, colour conversion from the document colour space to the press colour space is performed (2nd stage of colour conversion).

When the checkbox is cleared, the colour conversion to the press colour space is not performed. When [Convert to Proofer Color Space] is checked, colour conversion is performed directly from the document colour space to the proofer colour space.

Note
  • [Set Press Color Space as a Target] checkbox is cleared and greyed out if you select [Use Media Profile Settings].

4

Convert to Proofer Color Space

When the checkbox is checked, colour conversion to the proofer colour space is performed (3rd stage of colour conversion). The setting items related to the proofer colour space are displayed.

When the checkbox is cleared, the colour conversion to the proofer colour space is not performed. When [Set Press Color Space as a Target] is checked, output is performed with the press colour space.

Note
  1. The checked status of the checkbox may be fixed depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters] pane. Also, some of the settings cannot be used.

5

Use ICC Profile for Proofer Color Space

Perform colour conversion to the proofer colour space (3rd stage of colour conversion) using the profile of the proofer colour space. The setting items related to the proofer colour space are displayed.

Note
  • The selected status may be fixed depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters] pane.

6

Rendering Intent

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

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

Note
  • [Fujifilm Colorimetric] may be unavailable for selection depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters] pane.
  • If an ICC profile that was created with ColorPath Sync is selected in [Proofer Colour Space], only [Fujifilm Colorimetric] can be selected.

7

Preserve 100% Black

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer Color Space] or [Use Media Profile Settings] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, colours for which K is 100% and CMY is 0% are not converted.

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

8

Preserve Black

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

9

Preserve Pure Solid Colour

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer Color Space] or [Use Media Profile Settings] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, colours for which CMYK is (100, 100, 0, 0), (100, 0, 100, 0) or (0, 100, 100, 0) are not converted.

10

Preserve 100% CMY

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer Color Space] or [Use Media Profile Settings] is selected. When the checkbox is checked, colours for which CMYK is (100, 0, 0, 0), (0, 100, 0, 0) or (0, 0, 100, 0) are not converted.

11

Preserve Pure Colour

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer Color Space] or [Use Media Profile Settings] is selected. When the checkbox is checked and K 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 or press colour space may become slight screening in the proofer colour space. As a result, the target colour may not be reproduced accurately in output.

12

Specify Ink Limit

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer 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.

13

Preserve Black Density

Preserve Black Tint

This is displayed only when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer 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.

14

Proofer Colour Space

This can only be set when [Use ICC Profile for Proofer Color Space] is selected. Click [] and select a proofer colour space profile.

Note
  1. Depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters] pane, the proofer colour space set in the media profile may be displayed.
  2. When [Generic DP], [Jet Press 720]/[J Press 720], [Jet Press 720F]/[J Press 720F], [Jet Press 720R] or another digital press device is selected in [Device Parameters] pane, the settings of [Proofer Colour Space] in [Digital Print Media] pane are displayed.
  3. [] is displayed for a profile that was created with ColorPath Sync.

15

Use Device Link Profile

Perform colour conversion to the proofer colour space (3rd stage of colour conversion) using the device link profile.

When selected, [Device Link Profile] is displayed.

Note
  1. This may be unavailable for selection depending on the device selected in [Device Parameters] pane.

16

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
  1. If a device link profile is imported after being downloaded from the ColorPath Sync website or exported from ColorPath Organizer, it is not recognised as a device link profile that was generated while linked with ColorPath Sync. When such a device link profile is applied to a job, colour validation cannot be performed even if colour validation is set in the device link profile.

Validation Chart: Displayed when a device link profile is selected that was created with ColorPath Sync and in which colour validation conditions are set. The name of the validation chart set in the selected device link profile is displayed. To perform colour validation correctly, place the validation chart that corresponds to the displayed name.

17

Check Document Colour Space Consistency

The displayed conditions vary depending on the settings of [Media] pane of the press device.

When [Convert to Press Color Space] is checked: Displayed when the checkboxes of both [Set Press Color Space as a Target] and [Convert to Proofer Color Space] are cleared.

When [Convert to Press Color Space] is not checked: Displayed when the checkbox of [Convert to Proofer Color Space] is cleared.

When the colour conversions for the press colour space (2nd stage) and the proofer colour space (3rd stage) are omitted, output is performed with the document colour space. But because the document colour space can be set for each individual 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.

18

Use Media Profile Settings

This option performs colour conversion to the proofer colour space (3rd stage of colour conversion) according to the media profile settings selected in [Media] pane or [Digital Print Media] pane. Colour conversion settings of the media profile set in ColorPath Organizer are applied according to the ICC profile selected in [Proofer Colour Space].

Note
  • Only the following advanced settings are available when using colour conversion settings of the media profile.
    [Preserve 100% Black], [Preserve Black], [Preserve 100% CMY], [Preserve Pure Solid Colour], and [Preserve Pure Colour]
  • You cannot select [Use Media Profile Settings] if you have selected a device whose media profile cannot be edited by ColorPath Organizer in [Device Parameters].

Add Media Wedge

Check the checkbox to output a media wedge (a colour patch for checking the colour precision) during proof output. This enables the settings related to the media wedge.

Note
  • The colour conversion to the press colour space (2nd stage) and/or proofer colour space (3rd stage) is applied to the media wedge according to the job settings.
  • You can check the media wedge after job rendering is completed by using the viewer's Rendered Mode. It is not displayed in the viewer's previews or thumbnails while the job is being created.
  • Output is performed using the minimum area that includes the paper (or page for a single page layout) and the media wedge.
  • When a plate size is set and [Clip to Imposition Paper] is not checked in [Device Parameters], output is performed using the plate size. A media wedge positioned outside the plate size is not output.
  • The media wedge is output using the media size of the PDF of the selected custom mark. For this reason, when a custom mark for which a trim box is specified on the PDF and which is only partially displayed is specified as the media wedge, the output size is different from when it is placed as a custom mark.
  • When the media wedge overlaps other content, the content is stacked in the order of media wedge, slugline, and other content.
  • If [Jet Press 720]/[J Press 720], [Jet Press 720F]/[J Press 720F] or [Jet Press 720R] is the selected device in [Device Parameters], a media wedge cannot be set.
