enabled, you must configure the process templates to use ColorFlow
and
enable ColorFlow in the job.
When a job's pages are refined using a refine process template in
which you have enabled ColorFlow, the color setup that is assigned
depends on the ColorFlow settings in the refine process template:
●
If the refine process template indicates to use the default color
setup selected for the job, the job's color setup is assigned during
refining.
●
If a color setup is specified in the refine process template, the
settings in the template override the default color setup selected for
the job, and the color setup specified in the refine process template
is assigned.
●
If a color setup is specified in the refine process template but
ColorFlow is not enabled for the job, refining will fail. For a job to be
processed using ColorFlow, the job must be ColorFlow-enabled and
a default color setup must be selected for the job, even if the default
color setup is not assigned during refining.
In Job Manager, the
Color Setup
column in the
Pages
pane indicates
the color setup assigned to each page.
Note: If the refine process template is not ColorFlow-enabled but the job has a
default color setup selected, what happens during refining depends on whether
the
Match Colors
option is selected in the process template. If
Match Colors
is
not
selected, the job's default color setup is registered with the refined files, but no
color conversion is applied. If
Match Colors
is
selected, refining will fail.
It is also possible to change a refine process template's ColorFlow
settings when you refine specific pages, to change the selected color
setup. This is useful when you plan to print parts of a job differently,
such as on different presses or with different ink sets. For example, for
a book that consists of a cover and body pages, you might want to print
the cover CMYK but print the body pages in black only.
Note: After you run a job with ColorFlow enabled, you cannot rerun the job
without ColorFlow enabled, unless you re-create the job.
Setting the halftone output modes
You can select one of four modes for output to halftone devices or files,
in the output process template. These modes control the curves that
are applied upon output, corresponding to your output goals.
Print Production
Reflects the standard operation of Prinergy and ColorFlow for
production. When this option is selected, a
print calibration curve
and a
plate calibration curve
are applied to each output
separation.
