Color output

Unlike the Preview application, ImageViewer displays the job with the actual CMYK values that are sent to the printer and therefore provides an accurate soft proof. The soft proof does not display the effects of calibration, however, which can affect color.

You can edit the individual C, M, Y, and K response curves. You can save your edits and apply them to other color jobs. You can also apply G7 calibration curves that were created using CHROMiX Curve2 or Curve3.

You can display the separation data for each process color independently or in combination with any other process colors. If the job has Halftone Simulation settings, the preview shows a composite view of all separations at the dot level. If you print pages from ImageViewer, the output includes composite color information for the separations that are selected in ImageViewer.

Black-and-white output

ImageViewer allows you to adjust the gray levels in a job before printing. You make these adjustments visually, by changing the response curve (a graphical representation of input vs. output density), and viewing the effect in a preview of the job.

ImageViewer also allows you to install the response curve adjustments of the current job on the Fiery Server. The same gray level adjustments are then applied to all jobs that are processed subsequently.
