11-12 GA-1120 Color Management - Toshiba

1-14 GA-1120 Color Management
• Off—The GA-1120 uses CMYK equivalents defined by the spot color manufacturer,
such as PANTONE. These are the same CMYK equivalents used by applications
that include spot color libraries.
For jobs that include spot colors, set Spot Color Matching to On unless you are
printing press simulations. In that case, set Spot Color Matching to Off and choose the
appropriate CMYK Simulation setting (see page 1-9).
For PDF jobs that include spot colors and if spot colors are not included in the built-in
table, setting Spot Color Matching to On retains the spot color originally specified.
The GA-1120 makes reference to the built-in table to generate the closest CMYK
matches of the original spot color.
NOTE: You can use the Spot Color Matching option only when printing composites,
not when printing separations.
Spot Color Matching and the PANTONE Coated Color Reference
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference (described in the Fiery Color Reference)
prints differently depending on the Spot Color Matching setting.
• On—The GA-1120 uses a built-in table to generate the best matches of the
PANTONE colors that your copier can produce. The PANTONE number is
printed below each swatch.
• Off—The GA-1120 prints swatches using the CMYK values recommended by
Pantone, Inc. (and used by applications that provide PANTONE color libraries).
The CMYK values used to generate the color, as well as the PANTONE number of
the color, are printed below each swatch. These CMYK values are printed through
the selected CMYK Simulation and Output Profile settings.
Toner Reduction
This option minimizes the total amount of toner and reduces effects of toner blasting,
offset, or flaking. With the On setting, the maximum combined amount of toner is
240%. The Off setting reduces maximum toner coverage to 280% for Plain Paper and
Thin Paper, and 260% for Thick Paper. However, with the On setting, shadow density
in a print job may be lighter than that of a job printed with the Off setting.
