The RIP Setup panel contains the settings used by the RIP.
General RIP Settings
|
RIP Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Override color management in PDF |
When enabled, the selected input ICC profiles override profiles found in the document. When disabled, the input ICC profiles are used only where the document does not already provide profiles. |
|
Preserve 100% black |
When enabled, the black‐only part of your input is no longer converted to a CMYK‐equivalent color. This option is particularly relevant for black text because it avoids colored fringes. |
|
Keep text black |
When enabled, black text objects remain process black. When Preserve 100% black is enabled, this setting is enabled automatically. |
|
Color manage gray as CMYK |
When enabled, monochrome (gray) data uses the selected CMYK input profile and is color managed as CMYK. When this option is selected, the Gray ICC profile setting becomes unavailable. |
|
Optimize fine paths, strokes and outline text |
Turns on precise rendering in the RIP. This can produce finer and lighter output, but may affect performance. |
|
Main Intent |
The default rendering intent used when the job does not supply one. |
Override Intents
|
RIP Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
|
CMYK Images |
This option overrides the rendering intent in the job for CMYK images. |
|
RGB Images |
This option overrides the rendering intent in the job for RGB images. |
Input Profiles
|
RIP Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
|
RGB input profile |
Sets the input profile for RGB color spaces in the job unless the job already provides one. This profile converts RGB data into the connection space. |
|
CMYK input profile |
Sets the input profile for CMYK color spaces in the job unless the job already provides one. This profile converts CMYK data into the connection space. |
|
Gray input profile |
Sets the input profile for gray color spaces in the job unless the job already provides one. This profile converts gray data into the connection space. |
Output Profile
|
RIP Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Printer ICC profile |
The device or output ICC profile. It converts from the connection space to the device color space, such as CMYK or CMYKOGV. |
|
Emulate another printer |
Enables a device link profile that can be used to emulate another device. |
|
Device Emulation Profile |
Specifies the device link used to emulate the other device. |
Device Link Profiles
|
RIP Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
|
RGB device link |
This is general device link support. A chain of profiles can be built into a single device link that connects the input profile (RGB) to the output profile. |
|
CMYK device link |
This is general device link support. A chain of profiles can be built into a single device link that connects the input profile (CMYK) to the output profile. |
|
Gray device link |
This is general device link support. A chain of profiles can be built into a single device link that connects the input profile (Gray) to the output profile. |
Tone Curves
This tab shows the tone curves for each channel. Add or remove points by selecting a row in the grid and using the + or - buttons.
Curve data can be loaded or saved using the buttons in the bottom right.
The Linear button resets the curve to a default linear curve with two points, from (0.00, 0.000) to (1.00, 1.000).
