CMYK simulation

You can specify a CMYK Simulation and a CMYK simulation method for the job with
the CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method print options (see
page 1-8). The CMYK Simulation setting affects all CMYK color data sent by the page
layout application. It can also affect RGB data if RGB Separation is set to Simulation.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated for an offset press
standard, apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For example, for
images separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation setting.
If you print separations to the ColorPASS and choose use the Combine Separations
feature in conjunction with Full Simulation, the result may not match that of the
same page printed as composite.
• If the document contains CMYK images that were separated according to the color
characteristics of a custom ICC profile (not a press standard profile), choose the
corresponding profile as the CMYK Simulation Profile print option on the
ColorPASS.
To achieve the workflow described above, the profile used for the separation of

CMYK images in the document should also reside on the ColorPASS. For more
information on downloading CMYK Simulation profiles to the ColorPASS with
ColorWise Pro Tools, see Chapter 4.
