You can use ColorFlow-generated elements to refine and to output a job in Prinergy.
Refine a job in Prinergy
To refine a job with ColorFlow, enable ColorFlow in the ColorConvert section of the Refine Process template. You can refine with a specific color setup, or with the job color setup defined from the Edit Job Attributes dialog. You can change the job color setup or refine with any color setup at any time.
A color setup name and snapshot number is embedded at a page (1-up) level during the refine process of a Prinergy job. After pages for a job have been refined, if you want to change the color setup or a color control element that the job uses, you must refine the job's input files again so that the new color setup and/or snapshot number is embedded its pages.
It is best practice not to modify a color setup to adjust the color of a single job. If, for example, you need to adjust the simulation method for a single job, you can duplicate the color setup, make your simulation adjustment in the second color setup, and use the second color setup for the Prinergy job.
Output a job in Prinergy
You can output a job in Prinergy by either of the following:
- To use ColorFlow print and plate curves for halftone (screened) output, in the Output Process template, disable the ColorFlow Color Relationship Management panel, and then select print and plate curves by name in the Calibration and Screening panel.
- To use ColorFlow ICC profiles and curves in coordination for output, in the Output Process template, enable the ColorFlow Color Relationship Management panel. You can then select the color setup, print device, and other parameters to control color processing for continuous-tone or halftone output. ColorFlow provides all of the necessary color control elements of the job.
Note: You can output a job with a color setup different from the one you used for refine. However, to get the best color match, it's recommended that you use the same color setup for refine and output.
