Specifying Color Settings for Each Object

Apply color management individually to the objects (images, illustrations, and text^*1) in the print data.

Actual print data may contain a mixture of raster, vector, and text objects as shown below. The color model (RGB or CMYK) may also differ.

The color management for each object is summarized in the table below.

Object	Description	Matching Method	Color Model	Supplementary Information
Image	Photos, bitmap images, rasterized text, etc.	All images	RGB
Image	Photos, bitmap images, rasterized text, etc.	All images	CMYK
Vector	Vector illustrations created in design software and outlined text	All illustrations and text ^*3	RGB
Vector			CMYK
Text ^*4	Text input from design software		RGB
Text ^*4	Text input from design software		CMYK	To enable preservation of primary colors only for text: Apply Text Only

^*2 Preservation of C, M, Y, and K individual colors and secondary colors (C+M, M+Y, Y+C) is possible.

^*3 Text refers to objects input from design software or outlined objects.

^*4 Color management cannot be applied to text alone.

When specifying color settings for each object, the following effects can be expected.

A combination of illustrations with vivid color contrast and photos with natural color tones

Printing 2D codes and text in data clearly
