Working with office applications
Color Reference Guide for C9800 - 25
Office applications use low resolution to display EPS files, but the EPS images are
printed at full resolution. In general, use EPS files only when RGB colors are
impractical in your specific workflow. EPS files are useful when using large or complex
images that must be printed at full
or exceed the memory allocation of some
Microsoft Office applications.
Working with imported files
Your application may allow you to import a variety of file formats. If you encounter
printing problems when using other imported file formats such as TIFF and PICT,
EPS files are recommended.

If you are unable to import EPS elements, it may be necessary to perform a
“custom install” of your Microsoft Office applications.
Even when there are no user-defined color management options within office
applications, color conversions do occur when you import images or page elements
that were not defined in RGB. To avoid such conversions with imported files, use the
EPS file format for non-RGB artwork that is to be imported into office applications.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the settings you choose for the
RGB Source and Rendering Style print options.
Mixing imported image types (Advanced color management)
If you place multiple RGB images—mixed non-photographic and photographic—into
an office application file, a single
may not optimize output for all the images.
In this case, you may want the photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether.
To accomplish this, open the photographic image in
mode with a pixel-editing
application, such as Photoshop, and perform color correction. Save the image as a
Photoshop EPS and import it into the document.
Selecting options when printing
There are few differences among office applications with regard to Fiery printing. To
specify print options and color management settings, follow the instructions in the
Chapter 1
. To specify these options, you must use a PostScript Level 2 (or
later) printer driver, such as an Adobe PostScript Printer Driver.
