Workflow scenarios
Color print jobs can be divided into two categories:
• Short-run print jobs for which the DocuColor 40 CP is the final print device
• Offset print jobs being proofed on the DocuColor 40 CP
For either type of job, issues of effective color usage, trapping, file optimization, and
scaling are important ones. The areas of difference between the workflows for these two
types of jobs are outlined in the following sections.
Short-run color printing
For short-run color jobs printed to the DocuColor 40 CP:
• You can work in either the RGB color model or the CMYK color model (see the
application notes). When working with RGB colors, you should take advantage of
the color rendering capabilities of the DocuColor 40 CP (see Chapter 2).
• When choosing or defining colors in your application, use the DocuColor 40 CP
color reference pages to be assured of predictable results (see Chapter 3).
• When printing, choose the appropriate settings for print options that affect color
output (see Chapter 2).
• When printing, make sure the resident calibration on the DocuColor 40 CP is the
appropriate one for your job. The DocuColor 40 CP includes a calibration target
designed for your print device, but you can also create a custom target to achieve
particular color effects (see Chapter 2 and the Job Management Guide, which
describes DocuColor 40 CP calibration).
