• With Black Overprint Off, the border of the text or text/graphics is on an edge that 

has cyan and magenta toners on one side (outside the text) and black toner on the 
other side (inside the text). This transition may cause visible artifacts because of the 
practical limitations of the copier/printer.

This feature is not available with the PCL driver.

The Spot Color Matching option provides automatic matching of spot colors with 
their best CMYK equivalents.

•

—The Fiery X3e uses a built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of 

spot colors your copier/printer can produce. (New tables are generated when you 
add new output profiles.) If Spot-On is installed, the Fiery X3e uses the CMYK 
matches it determines (see 

).

•

—The Fiery X3e 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 

).

For PDF jobs that include spot colors and where the spot colors are not included in the 
built-in table, setting Spot Color Matching to On retains the spot color originally 
specified. The Fiery X3e references the built-in table to generate the closest CMYK 
matches of the original spot color.

Use the Spot Color Matching option only when printing composites, not when 

printing separations. 

The PANTONE Coated Color Reference (described in the 

) 

prints differently depending on the Spot Color Matching setting.

•

—The Fiery X3e uses a built-in table or, with the Spot-On, the Spot-On color 

dictionaries (see 

) to generate the best matches of the PANTONE colors 

that your copier/printer can produce. The PANTONE number is printed below 
each swatch.

•

—The Fiery X3e 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.

This feature is not available with the PCL driver.

The RGB 

 setting allows you to define the characteristics of the RGB 

data in your document so the appropriate color conversion can occur on the Fiery X3e. 
Commonly used monitor color spaces are available from the printer driver and from 
the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager. For special needs, use ColorWise Pro Tools 
to download custom monitor or scanner profiles.

When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile, the Fiery X3e 
overrides 

 definitions or profiles that other color management 

systems may have specified. For example, if you specified a ColorSync System Profile 
on your Mac OS computer, the RGB Source Profile setting overrides it. In cases where 
you do not want this setting to override another specified source color space, choose 
the None setting.

When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile—since the 
color space definitions are overridden—the output from the Fiery X3e is consistent 
across platforms. The Fiery X3e RGB Source Profile options are:

•

 specifies an EFI-defined color space recommended for users who have no 

detailed information about their RGB data.

•

 specifies the industry standard definition for a generic Windows 

computer monitor.

•

 specifies the definition of all standard Mac OS computer monitors.

•

 allows you to specify custom RGB source settings. If you choose Other as the 

RGB Source Profile setting, you must choose settings for the Gamma, Phosphors, 
and White Point options. 

•

 specify the definitions you download as RGB source profiles. For more 

information about downloading RGB source profiles, see 

If you are printing with the PostScript driver from a Windows computer and have
Two-Way Communication enabled, the name of each downloaded profile is 
represented in the RGB Source Profile setting menu. If you are printing with the 
AdobePS driver from a Mac OS computer, downloaded profiles appear as Source-1 
through Source-10. For more information about Two-Way Communication, see the 

•

 instructs the Fiery X3e to allow the RGB sources you defined elsewhere, such 

as in the application, to be used. When you set RGB Source to None, the 
appearance of colors will not be independent of the file type. For example, RGB EPS 
files will look different from RGB TIFF files. 

With RGB Source set to None, PostScript RGB data that contains a source color 
space definition is converted using the CRD specified by the Rendering Style option 
(see 

). Non-PostScript RGB data and PostScript RGB data that does not 

contain a source color space definition are converted using a general 

 conversion method.

This feature is not available with the PCL driver.

The CMYK Simulation Profile print option allows you to print press proofs or 
simulations. This setting specifies the offset press standard or other color printing 
device that you want to simulate. This option affects CMYK data only. 

With the Windows printer drivers, you can also view an unlimited number of custom 
Full simulations created using ColorWise Pro Tools. On Mac OS computers, you can 
view up to 10 Full custom simulations. The number of custom simulations is limited 
by the disk space on the Fiery X3e.

If you are printing with the PostScript driver from a Windows computer and have
Two-Way Communication enabled, the name of each downloaded or custom profile is 
represented in the CMYK Simulation Profile setting menu. If you are printing with the 
AdobePS driver from a Mac OS computer, downloaded or custom profiles appear as 
Simulation-1 through Simulation-10. For more information about Two-Way 
Communication, see the 

.

The None setting sends your original CMYK data to the copier/printer in its calibrated 
state, without conversions to simulate another printer. This setting is not generally 
recommended, unless you want to bypass the conversion by ColorWise and use 
another color management system.

The CMYK Simulation Profile setting you specify depends on the press standard for 
which the CMYK data was separated.

• For images that were separated using a custom separation (such as a separation 

produced with an ICC profile), choose the corresponding profile on the Fiery X3e 
with the CMYK Simulation Profile setting. 

• For images that were separated for 

, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation 

Profile setting. 

To properly simulate a printed image that was separated through the use of an 

ICC profile, the same profile must be present on the Fiery X3e. For more information 
about downloading ICC profiles to the Fiery X3e, see 

This feature is not available with the PCL driver.
