Color Management--Discussing Today's Color

Prinergy, the new page-based workflow management software from Creo and Heidelberg, is equipped with integrated color management. The system is automated and can track input and output color profiles, perform color conversion and manage output seamlessly to a variety of devices.

With Prinergy, color management by Linocolor can occur in two stages according to the needs of the job at hand. The first is refining where color management can be employed to color-separate files in the manner best suited for the press. This results in an industry standard, PDF digital master that can be viewed and even edited by the original content creator. The second stage of color management in Prinergy is color matched proofing, which applies device-link profiles to allow the proof to simulate final presswork.
