What is color management?

Definition

The color management settings help you to reproduce the colors of your input as precisely as possible on the printed output.

With the color management settings you define how to convert the color-information of the file you want to print (input color space; RGB, CMYK or Grey color space) to the output color space of the Océ ColorWave 500 (CMYK color space). This conversion can require approximations in order to preserve the image's most important color qualities.

To be able to reproduce colors it is important to define the following.

  • Input profile / Standardization

  • Color feel / Rendering intents

  • Output profile
