Color Manager

When a printed advertisement does not reproduce a brand’s colors accurately, or comply with the original intent of the advertiser, there is a potentially expensive problem. For newspaper printers the cause of de-saturated color, filling-in effects and neutral color deviation is usually due to the use of a standard color transformation from a common source ICC profile (often a wrong ICC) to the printer ICC. In some cases
images are not even color managed prior to reaching the RIP, and then colors become distorted. Achieving a printed image that is close as possible to the original, fully restoring the colors that are distorted during
the printing process is very difficult for any process department. ProImage Color Manager solves the problem.

Color Manager software automatically transforms image files from their source ICC profile to the output ICC profile. It does this dynamically, without any loss of color saturation or dynamic range. The results
are accurate color reproduction achieved easily, and quickly. Color Manager is also an essential tool should there be a need to re-purpose a PDF for additional targets such as a heatset press, the Web, or even a tablet PC.

Using SISR (Smart Input Space Recognition) Color Manager automatically analyzes the image to detect the source ICC, even when it’s unknown. Then using unique color transformation technology it automatically
converts the image from the source profile to the output ICC profile.

As very few images are the same, each undergoes an individual transformation according to the source profile detected. The software then makes the image as close as technically possible to the source image
and maintains all the color that would normally become de-saturated when processed. In addition, the color
transformation takes into account the paper’s CMYK color to maintain the visual grey balance. This provides you with better quality and a valuable competitive advantage.

As another benefit, ProImage Color Manager makes the image sharper taking into account the output resolution of the RIP screening and the user’s preference. So whatever the job, Color Manager software
will enable you to reproduce stunning results, and maintain happy customers. As a bonus, Color Manager includes ProImage OnColor ECO which allows you to save
around 25% of your color ink cost.
