Printing Guideline for Ricoh Color Products 2.01

Mac: Setting ColorSync Workß ow manages color using the ColorSync CMS

with the proÞ les chosen in the ColorSync control panel. Use this option if

you want to use color management with a mix of Adobe and non-Adobe

applications. This color management conÞ guration is not recognized by

Windows systems, or by versions of ColorSync earlier than 3.0.

6.15.3 Specifying Color ProÞ les for Untagged Images

From the concept of a color managed workß ow, each element must have

a color proÞ le attached to it. That means images in RGB- or CMYK-

or Grayscale-color models must be connected with deÞ ned color spaces.

RGB: Select your Ricoh´s scanner proÞ le from the dropdown list.

CMYK: Select your Ricoh´s printers proÞ le from the dropdown list.

Grayscale: Select either different dot gain values or gamma values.

Refer to the user´s manual for more information on dot gain and gamma values.

6.15.4 Specifying the Color Management Engine

The engine does the converting between different color spaces using the color

proÞ les. It also handles the chosen rendering intent.

Adobe Color Engine (ACE): This is the default setting.

(Windows) Microsoft ICM: Microsoft´s Image Color Management

(Mac) Apple ColorSync / Apple CMM / Heidelberg CMM

Any third party color management engines you have installed are also displayed.

6.15.5 Importing Tagged PDF Documents

The color management information embedded in a PDF Þ le always takes precedence

over the CSF. In Acrobat, the information in the CSF is used only to determine the

color management engine and proÞ les used to display or print unmanaged (device-

dependent) colors in a document. The information in the CSF may also affect whether

PostScript printing uses the CMYK working space as the default when the policy

for CMYK is not “off.”
