Does ColorPro support emulation proofing/printing?
This process is fully supported by Harlequin RIP with ColorPro. If you consider a page from a magazine which contains an RGB image printing to an inkjet proof printer. The normal workflow for RGB would use Perceptual Rendering via the output profile for the device setup and media. This would normally produce a pleasing print as the color gamuts of today’s inkjet printers are ever increasing, but this does not represent how this image or page will look on a press. What is needed is an intermediary step to map the RGB colors to the CMYK space of the press using the full gamut of the press. This converted data is then sent to the proofing printer to produce a color accurate proof of the page. This process, if done properly, requires an emulation profile and a two-stage color managed workflow. This process is fully supported by the Harlequin RIP with ColorPro, and ensures that workflows containing RGB and CMYK images, or combinations of both, can be color accurately proofed.
