ICC Color Matching/Separation

ImageServer provides fast, accurate ICC color space transforms. Color matching is applied for layout generation, color proof printing, final output and image conversion. High-res raster or PDF images are automatically color matched on-the-fly to CMYK separations, to RGB, or to CIE Lab. ImageServer recognizes embedded ICC profiles or references in high-res images. Tools to embed ICC are included. ICC version 4 compliant, with support for DeviceLink and Grayscale ICC profiles, and BPC (Black Point Compensation).

• PDF-native OPI option supports InDesign PDF export

As soon as image files are created or changed on the server by EtherShare, PCShare or WebShare clients, layout files are generated. OPI low-res file creation can be turned on for the entire volume (no “hot folder” required, no restrictions on OPI folders). Low-res files are stored in “layout” subdirectories.

PostScript / PDF Output Generation

On-the-fly PostScript Level 1, 2 and 3 generation with compression: Zip, Compress, JPEG, CCITT-G4, OPI image replacement during output (no temporary files), image ICC color management, downsampling, and cropping during composite or separated output. PDF generation via PDF HandShake option.
