Color management is handled by the Color Matcher JTP. This JTP handles two color management functions:
- RGB image conversion: RGB images and graphics can be automatically converted to CMYK using a standard ICC profile shipped with Prinergy Evo. Because this conversion is required most of the time, it is the default setting in the Refine to PDF process template.
- CMYK to CMYK color matching: For CMYK to CMYK color matching, the Color Matcher transforms the color space of a PDF file to a color space appropriate for a specific output device using ICC profiles.
When color matching is enabled as part of the Refine to PDF process template, color data is matched to an output device. When color matching is enabled for proof output, the transformed color data is transformed again to a color space suitable for proofing, simulating final output on the proofing device.
