HP Designjet 4500 Series - User Guide

4. In the Default Source Profiles you must set the default profiles for solid colors and images that
don't have embedded profiles. The following default profiles are recommended: RGB: Adobe
RGB 1998, CMYK: SWOP for the USA and Euroscale Coated v2 for the rest of the world. Also
select the rendering intent, which QuarkXPress uses for all conversions; if in doubt, select
Relative Colorimetric. See
Set the rendering intent.
5. Check the box Color Manage RGB sources to RGB destinations in the RGB Default Source
Profiles and Color Manage CMYK sources to CMYK destinations in the CMYK Default
Source Profiles.
6. The Display Simulation tells QuarkXPress how the display simulation should behave:
●
None means that it doesn't simulate anything on the display.
●
Monitor Color Space means that it converts from the source profile to the display profile
for display only.
●
Composite Output Color Space makes the display simulate a composite printer: that is, a
printer without separate plates for different colors, such as an inkjet printer.
●
Separation Output Color Space makes the display simulate a separations printer: that is,
a printer with separate plates for different colors, such as a digital press.
You can select Monitor Color Space if you want to display only, or you can select the
Separation Output Color Space if you also want to see the simulation of the output device on
the monitor. You can simulate the final output with the printer (hard–proofing) and with the
monitor (soft-proofing ).
7. Open and retouch the document as you like.
