Use Fiery TrueBrand

Fiery TrueBrand allows you to match your print output to your brand colors. Some applications such as Microsoft Office allow colors only to be defined in the RGB space. Fiery TrueBrand helps the RGB color in Microsoft Office to print like a PANTONE color.

Any named color can be used from the PANTONE, DIC, HSK, and TOYO libraries, including user-created custom spot colors, supported by the Fiery server.

Note: Fiery TrueBrand applies only to RGB colors for elements defined within the application.

Make sure that the Fiery Administrator has given you the Calibration privilege. See Configure Help for more information.

Fiery TrueBrand is not available on all Fiery servers.

  1. Open a job in a desktop application, for example Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat.

    The source file types supported are PDF and Microsoft Office (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, or .pptx).

    You can also open a job that is either held, or processed and held in the Command WorkStation Job Center.

  2. In the Fiery Driver or in the Job Properties window of Command WorkStation, select the Color tab, and then select Substitute colors. Selecting Substitute Colors instructs the Fiery server to use these RGB-brand color substitutions.
