Data

When matching this color

Color: Get color from designer’s sample (2)

• Scanner is EPSON Perfection4990

　

• Gradation is not available

• Need a test print beforehand in order that color reproduction accuracy differs depend on the color sample, scanner, or profile.

Color Detail: Accurate Color

All the Profile data have been expanded to 16 bits.

Color matching accuracy is much more advanced.

– Highlight is well reproduced.– Much less tone jump on gradations.– Preserves the same speed, compared with old 8 bits profile( V2 profile).– Required no special setting, Just select the V3 profile on the print

condition screen.

Accurate color reproduction

Color Detail: Proper Ink LimitInk limit method has been more proper in V3 profile.

– Adopts ink limit values differently from primary colors to composite colors.

– Stronger pure color but less bleeding is possible. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Case: this media can hold ink up to 210%.

Starts bleeding at C=M=Y=70%Total of 210%.

Adopts 70% each.Non Bleeding butWeak Magenta and Red.

Adopts 70% for composite color (CMY).Non bleeding andStrong Magenta and Red.

Color Detail: Profile Filter FunctionOn the print condition setting screen, able to filter the profile list with variety of

keys. Filtering by: Ink set, Media name, Resolution and Profile version.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Filtering in ink set.

Only SS2 CMYKLcLm profiles are on the list.

Color Detail:Enhanced Color ReplacementColor Replacement function has been more functional.

– Input color can be CMYK as well as spot color.

– Up to 4 special inks can be replaced on Tx2 or Tx3.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

CMYK color can be replaced with special inks.

Able to replace color by selecting the ink slot numbers.
