What is colour management?

Definition

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

With the colour management settings you define how to convert the colour-information of the file you want to print (input colour space; RGB, CMYK or Grey colour space) to the output colour space of the Océ ColorWave 700 (CMYK colour space). This conversion can require approximations in order to preserve the image's most important colour qualities.

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

  • Input profile / Standardisation

  • Colour feel / Rendering intents

  • Output profile
