Glossary
Color Reference Guide for C9800 - 103
RGB
An additive color model that makes a
range of colors by combining red, green,
and blue light, called the additive
primaries. Commonly used to refer to
the color space, mixing system, or
monitor in color computer graphics.
simulation
See
simulation profile.
simulation profile
The simulation profile describes the
color characteristics of another print
device, such as a printing press, that you
want the Fiery to simulate.
solid color rendering
A color rendering style intended for
use when color accuracy is crucial.
Unprintable colors are mapped to the
closest printable colors. Solid color
rendering does the best job of preserving
the saturation of displayed colors.
source color space
The color environment of the
originating source of a colored element,
including scanners and color monitors.
source profile
A file used by the color management
system to determine the characteristics of
the color values specified in a source
digital image.
spectral light
The wavelengths of electromagnetic
radiation emitted by a given light source
that can be seen by the human eye.
spectrophotometer
An instrument commonly used in the
graphic arts industry to measure spectral
light according to a specified standard.
spot color
A color printed on its own separation
plate when separations are specified. A
spot color is printed using a custom ink
for that color, in contrast to process col-
ors that are printed using combinations
of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
(Also referred to as a named color).
Status T
A spectral response for graphic arts
reflection densitometers defined by
ANSI (American National Standards
Institute).
subtractive color model
A system in which color is produced by
combining colorants such as paint, inks,
or dyes on media such as paper, acetate,
or transparent film. All printing devices
use the subtractive color model.
subtractive primaries
Cyan, magenta, and yellow colorants
used in subtractive color systems for
color printing. Combining the
subtractive primaries produces darker
colors. Black is added to the subtractive
primaries to compensate for deficiencies
of the toners or inks, and for more
efficient black printing.
substrate
In printing, the material upon which the
job is printed.
