Color Management--Degrees of Separation

Harlequin has continued to enhance and evolve its Harlequin Color Production Solutions since the introduction of HFCS in May 1995. As its name implies, HFCS offers an extensive set of color process control features in the HCPS suite, including fully configurable, in-RIP color calibration capabilities based on the device, image and color reproduction process used. HFCS allows users to custom define rendering intent for file contents on an object basis—text, logos, photographs—and also provides adjustments to accommodate ultimate viewing conditions, a selection of black generation strategies and varying paper backgrounds. HFCS can use Harlequin format device profiles, created using the HFCS color management tools, as well as ICC profiles and device links.
