When sending to Versaworks...

Greetings!

Just to find out what the general concensus is: when outputting to Versaworks from CorelDraw as either an EPS or as a PDF, do you check the box "Apply ICC Profile" and if so, which one?

 

[Mosh]

eps and no

 

[Rooster]

Yes you do.

Always.

Otherwise the file will default to whatever you have specified as your default input profile. This can mess with your colors rather severely if you don't.

I don't.....but then again I don't know what the hell I'm doing with color management....!

hehehehe

I typically choose the .icc profile in the RIP software based on the media I'm printing on

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the ICC box in Coreldraw. Why would you need to set the profile in Corel and in Versaworks - doesn't make sense to me.

If the design is made up of spot colors from the Roland Color System I do not apply a profile. Otherwise, I do.
I never export as PDF. EPS always worked for me.

Color management requires an input profile. Say like an sRGB, although the input profile can be CMYK as well. It then requires an output or media profile.

It's how the colors transform between the input and output profile that creates the magic. Toss one of them out and you might as well not be using it.

Por la misma razon que necesistas un dicionarie para leer esta oracion.

Color is a language, and every program needs a guide in order to interpret the information when transitioning between Digital -> Inks.
