1 Introduction

1.1 What is Harlequin Color Production Solutions?

Harlequin Color Production Solutions (HCPS) is a suite of software products that
solve real-world color reproduction problems for the graphic arts market. HCPS prod-
ucts are available as options in the RIP. With HCPS, accurate color reproduction can
be managed automatically without the use of expensive, proprietary systems.
Each product in the HCPS suite embraces open systems, industry standards, device-
independent color science, and production-quality throughput and performance.
The HCPS suite currently consists of the following:
• Harlequin ICC Profile Processor (HIPP)
• Harlequin Standard Color System (HSCS)
• Harlequin Full Color System (HFCS)
All options can use color profiles, a widely accepted way of characterizing the color
responses of input and output devices. All options support ICC profiles; HFCS and
HSCS also support Harlequin-supplied profiles.
Note: It is also possible to obtain some of the benefits of color management by using a
ProofReady output plugin with the Harlequin RIP. ProofReady plugins are ready for
use, but you can expand their capabilities by using an HCPS option. See Section 1.4
on page 6 for details.

AG50237 Rev. 3 1
1 Introduction

Harlequin supplies a range of device profiles for commonly used color standards.
These profiles are available for immediate use and incorporate linearization data for
output devices.
You can also install ICC profiles for use with HIPP, HSCS, or HFCS.
The ICC profile format is specified by the International Color Consortium (http://
www.color.org/). The International Color Consortium, established in 1993, has the
charter for creating and promoting the standardization of open, vendor-neutral, cross-
platform color management systems.
Taken together, Harlequin profiles and ICC profiles allow a fast start, and maximum
flexibility.
Some graphics applications include color management information in images or jobs
that they produce; Adobe Photoshop 5 is one such application. When processing jobs
from these applications, you can choose to use either the color management informa-
tion contained in the jobs or the more detailed controls provided by an HCPS option.
Jobs can contain color management information in several forms: as an embedded
ICC profile; a color space array (CSA); or as specified by UseCIEColor. See
Appendix C, “Jobs Containing Color Management Data”, for details.

1.1.1 Harlequin ICC Profile Processor (HIPP)

HIPP allows processing of colors in page data using ICC profiles produced by OEMs,
third parties, or end-users using third party characterization and profiling tools. ICC
profiles specify a translation between two color spaces. Each profile is prepared for a
specific set of imaging conditions. One device may have more than one profile. Each
profile may correspond to running the device with different combinations of resolu-
tions, inks, and paper.
New profiles can be easily added to HIPP, and previously installed profiles can be
selected without the need to reinstall each time a profile is used.
From Harlequin RIP v5.5r1 an option to uninstall ICC profiles is provided. For more
information see “Uninstall ICC profiles” on page 19.
For details on using HIPP, see Chapter 2.

 1.2 Color and calibration

1.1.2 Harlequin Standard Color System (HSCS)

HSCS adds to the capabilities of HIPP by allowing the use of profiles prepared in
Harlequin’s format. HSCS forms an intermediate level of capability between HIPP
and HFCS.
Harlequin supplies a number of profiles for commonly used systems. See Appendix
D, “Supplied Profiles”, for details.
For details on using HSCS, see Chapter 3.

1.1.3 Harlequin Full Color System (HFCS)

HFCS is Harlequin’s response to the demand for a complete and accurate color repro-
duction solution. HFCS is a device-independent, cross-platform color management
system developed to control color in today’s digital printing and publishing environ-
ments. HFCS manages all aspects of color print reproduction and is fully compatible
with accepted industry standards.
HFCS comes closest to offering a technology-independent solution. Unlike most
systems, which force you to compensate for color before you know how a job will be
printed, HFCS works without regard to the input and output devices used. In other
words, you do not need to specify which devices will be used at the time the Post-
Script job is created. At run-time, HFCS applies the proper transformations.
HFCS allows you to specify different gamut-mapping algorithms in the reproduction
of a page. For example, you can simultaneously specify Absolute colorimetric to
reproduce logos and specify Perceptual to reproduce photographs. The end result is
that, on a single page, the color for a logo and a photograph are each calculated
without affecting other elements on the page.
Like HSCS, HFCS can use both ICC profiles and Harlequin profiles. See Appendix D,
“Supplied Profiles”, for details of the profiles supplied by Harlequin.
For details on using HFCS, see Chapter 4.

1.2 Color and calibration

To ensure high color accuracy, make sure you calibrate your output device. See the
chapter on “Calibration” in the ECRM RIP Manual.

AG50237 Rev. 3 3
1 Introduction

1.3 Color mapping styles used in HCPS

Various color mapping strategies are available with HCPS. The standard strategies
are:
• Absolute Colorimetric
• Relative Colorimetric
• Perceptual
• Saturation
HIPP can use these strategies from ICC profiles that provide them. HSCS and HFCS
can use these strategies from both ICC and Harlequin profiles. HFCS, alone, allows
you to modify these strategies and save them as new, named, strategies for later use.
Note: HCPS options list ICC strategies (rendering intents) using slightly different
names. See Section 1.3.5 on page 6 for an explanation.
Section 1.3.1 through Section 1.3.4 describe these strategies in more detail.
Appendix F, “Printing Color”, has further details on absolute colorimetric mapping
and perceptual mapping.

1.3.1 Absolute colorimetric

Any color the device can reproduce (with the intended setup and viewing conditions)
is reproduced exactly. Colors outside the device gamut are mapped onto a ‘nearby’
point in the gamut. There are various ways in which a color might be out of gamut.
For example, it could be too saturated, lighter than the paper color, or darker than the
darkest imageable patch.
Colorimetric reproduction is appropriate where an exact color match is required. For
example, you may choose a colorimetric strategy when you are reproducing a logo in
corporate colors.
Note: Absolute and relative colorimetric styles are closely related. For simplicity,
HIPP displays just the single name ICC colorimetric but internally it is able to use
either style where it is appropriate.

4 AG50237 Rev. 3
 1.3 Color mapping styles used in HCPS

1.3.2 Relative colorimetric

This style aims to reproduce colors exactly, except that the luminance (how light or
dark a color is) is scaled so that the darkest possible color is mapped to the darkest
imageable color, and the lightest possible color to the paper white. This style may
change the hue (degree of redness, blueness, and so on) of any color, and is almost
certain to affect the luminance of most colors.
Some scanners and applications produce data that has been adjusted so that the
lightest and darkest point are encoded as maximum and minimum lightness. For inter-
preting this kind of image, the relative colorimetric style is appropriate.

1.3.3 Perceptual
This style maps the entire device-independent color space onto the gamut of the
printer by compressing the range of in-gamut colors to make room for out-of-gamut
colors. It is appropriate for rendering photographs and similar reproductions of natural
scenes.
Note: This strategy was named Photorealistic in HCMS and early versions of HCPS.

1.3.4 Saturation
This style specifies that the saturation of the colors in the image is preserved, perhaps
at the expense of accuracy in hue and lightness.
Note: This strategy was named Business Graphics in HCMS and early versions of
HCPS.

1.3.5 Style names in ICC profiles

The names just listed are the conventional terms for these color mapping strategies
(rendering intents), and the Harlequin RIP uses these names for rendering intents
derived from Harlequin profiles. The names that appear for rendering intents derived
from ICC profiles are slightly different — there is only one colorimetric intent — but
all the same styles are available to the Harlequin RIP, provided that an ICC profile
contains them. The different naming scheme makes it easier for the HCPS options to
select the best rendering intent for the other choices you have made when creating a
color setup, described in the rest of this section.

AG50237 Rev. 3 5
1 Introduction

All HCPS options allow you to reproduce the paper color of the input job in the output
from the Harlequin RIP. (This is controlled by the Fill background with paper color of
input job check box in the relevant New Color Setup dialog box.) HCPS processes
other colors on the page to match the chosen background, so this setting implies
“absolute” and “relative” modes. This could be a problem if the chosen rendering
intent made a conflicting choice of absolute or relative rendering.
In version 5.0 and later of the RIP, there is one displayed ICC colorimetric intent, and
the Fill background with paper color of input job check box is used to make the color
absolute (check box selected) or relative (check box not selected). This means that
there cannot be a conflict, but allows full access to the rendering intents.

1.4 ProofReady plugins

Each ProofReady plugin is supplied ready to use with preconfigured color manage-
ment for several types of media. The first ProofReady plugins are for inkjet printers
used in the proofing and display markets.
With a ProofReady plugin, the way that you choose color management is simpler than
in the full HCPS options described in this manual because the setups are ready to use.
The special color setups appear in the Calibration list, each named for a particular
combination of media and resolution. Choosing one of the entries in the Calibration
list, and leaving the Color list set to (None), gives you a default color setup that
produces good results for most jobs.
You can expand the capabilities of a ProofReady plugin with an HCPS option, by
creating and using custom color setups built upon the same profiles used to create the
default color setups.
For more details of ProofReady plugins, see the user guide for the relevant Proof-
Ready plugin.

Using the Harlequin ICC Profile

Processor

The Harlequin ICC Profile Processor (HIPP) allows you to install and use any ICC
profiles to create color setups. These ICC profiles may be produced by OEMs or by
end users with third party characterization and profiling tools. Once you have installed
the ICC profiles in your system, you can use any combination of them to create
customized setups. The Harlequin RIP can also use an ICC profile embedded in an
image. Figure 2.1 shows the whole process from installing an ICC profile to printing a
job.
As well as providing the general benefits of using color profiles, HIPP performs cali-
brated reproduction of named PANTONE colors from the PANTONE MATCHING
SYSTEM. You cannot control this feature in HIPP dialog boxes, as is possible in
HFCS; it happens automatically.

2 Using the Harlequin ICC Profile Processor

2.1 Get ready to use HIPP

Before installing ICC profiles, you must set up access to HIPP by supplying a pass-
word. There are two possibilities:
• The password enables HIPP for all devices. See Section 2.1.1.
• The password enables HIPP for a single device; for example, a color proofing
printer. See Section 2.1.2.
The Harlequin RIP can read the password from a file if the installation process for a
plugin or other option supplied one. If the Harlequin RIP reads a password file, which
it does when next starting up, it displays a dialog box with a message like this one:
Imported password file Passwords/1234-56-7654321.pwd

Click OK to dismiss this dialog box. You can still use the manual procedures as a way
of enabling or checking options.

2.1.1 Enabling HIPP for all devices

If the password enables HIPP for all devices, follow this procedure:
1. Choose the menu option ScriptWorks > Configure RIP.
2. In the Configure RIP dialog box, click the Extras button.
3. Highlight the entry HIPP - Harlequin ICC Profile Processor and click
Add.

4. In the Enable Feature dialog box, type the password that allows you access to
HIPP.
5. Click OK. The Configure RIP Extras dialog box reappears with the HIPP option
enabled.

 2.1 Get ready to use HIPP

Figure 2.2 Configure RIP Extras dialog box

6. Click OK.
7. In the Configure RIP dialog box, click OK again.
You are now ready to begin installing ICC profiles. See Section 2.2 on page 13.

2.1.2 Enabling HIPP for a single device

If you have a password that enables HIPP for a particular device, follow this
procedure. (This enabling may have been done for you by your supplier; you can
check by using this procedure.)
1. Choose ScriptWorks > Configure RIP.
2. In the Configure RIP dialog box, click the Extras button.
3. In the Configure RIP Extras dialog box, look at the end of the Feature list.
There should be an entry starting with HCPS and of the general form:
HCPS - devicename [xxxx]
Where this entry shows devicename, you should see the name of the device you
want to use. Where this entry shows xxxx, you may see HIPP, a different code, or
you may see nothing (so that the entry ends in []).

AG50237 Rev. 3 11
2 Using the Harlequin ICC Profile Processor

There are various possibilities, as listed here:

• If there is an entry for the correct device and it ends in [HIPP], your device
is already enabled for this color option. Click OK twice to close the
Configure RIP dialog boxes and see Section 2.2 on page 13.
• If there is an entry for the correct device, but it ends in [] instead of
[HIPP], you must enable HIPP for this device. Continue this procedure at
step 4.
• If there is an entry for the correct device, but it ends in a code that is not
[HIPP], you must enable HIPP for this device. Continue this procedure at
step 4.
• If there is no entry for the device, you must configure the device using the
Device Manager dialog box. (Click OK twice to close the Configure RIP
dialog boxes and see the installation guide for your chosen device. For
general information, see the “Configuring Output Formats” chapter in the
ECRM RIP Manual.) Once you have configured the output device, restart
this procedure from the beginning.
4. Select the entry for the device you want to use and click Add.
5. In the Enable Feature dialog box, delete any existing number and type the pass-
word that allows you access to HIPP for this device.
6. Click OK. The Configure RIP Extras dialog box reappears.
7. Click OK. In the Configure RIP dialog box, click OK again.
8. Optionally, to check that you have enabled the option successfully, use the
ScriptWorks > Configure RIP menu option and click Extras to display the list of
features again. The entry for your device should now read:
HCPS - devicename [HIPP]

9. Click OK twice to close the Configure RIP Extras and Configure RIP dialog
boxes.
You are now ready to begin installing ICC profiles, for the named device only, as
described in the following section.

12 AG50237 Rev. 3
 2.2 Types of profiles

2.2 Types of profiles

ICC profiles vary in how much information they contain. From a suitable ICC profile,
you can install an input profile, a device (or output) profile, an emulation profile, or all
three. The profile installation dialog box shows you the options and you must explic-
itly choose how you want to install an ICC profile (as an input profile, output profile,
and so on) in order to use the profile to define a color setup.
For example, if you want to use the same ICC profile as an emulating profile in one
color setup and as a device profile in another color setup, you must install the ICC
profile as both an emulating profile and a device profile, that is, make sure that both
check boxes are selected. You can, at any time, make additions to how you want to use
an ICC profile. For example, if you want to use an ICC profile (that is currently
defined as an input profile only) as a device profile in a color setup, you can reinstall
the ICC profile as a device profile.
Before you can set up color setups using ICC profiles, HIPP must have available at
least three types of profiles. Harlequin supplies some commonly used profiles: see
Appendix D, “Supplied Profiles”.
Note: HIPP cannot use Harlequin profiles as input profiles. You must also make avail-
able an ICC profile for use as an output profile in order to create a color setup with
HIPP. (HSCS and HFCS do not have this limitation.)
Input profiles for CMYK and RGB are pre-installed. If you do not have suitable
profiles for your system, you must make available at least one from each of these
types:
• Input CMYK profile. You install at least one ICC profile as a CMYK input
profile or a device link profile.
An input profile colorimetrically transforms color data from a device-dependent
color space to a device-independent color space, where HCPS options can
process the data and supply it to an output profile, which you can choose sepa-
rately to suit your output device.
A device link profile maps colors between two device-dependent color spaces.
In this case, the color data bypasses HCPS color management to pass with a
predefined transformation directly between the input device and the output
device.

AG50237 Rev. 3 13
2 Using the Harlequin ICC Profile Processor

• Input RGB profile. You install at least one ICC profile as an RGB input profile
or a device link profile. The RGB input profile translates the input to a device-
independent color space so that the resulting colors match the colors that can be
produced on a monitor. The device link RGB profile bypasses HCPS color
management to map the RGB colors directly to the output device.
Note: Both RGB input profiles and CMYK input profiles can also be used as
output profiles. The same profile, however, cannot be used as both a CMYK and
an RGB input profile. Before you create any color setups in HIPP, make sure
you have available at least one CMYK and one RGB input profile.
• Device (or output) profile. You install at least one ICC profile as a device (or
output) profile. This profile must be an ICC output profile that is appropriate
for the printer to be used. This profile does the opposite of what an input profile
does. Based on information about the output device and imaging conditions,
the output profile transforms the device-independent color space back into a
device-dependent color space.
Note: Before you import an ICC profile into the Harlequin RIP you should make sure
that you have set up the profile correctly for the given device type in the ICC profiling
package. Understanding the correct use of ICC profiles for a given device type is
essential to successful color proofing.

2.2.1 Calibration and output profiles

It is possible to construct color profiles starting from the different states of the output
device being profiled. Two of the most common starting states are:
• The uncalibrated or “raw” state of the device.
• The device after adjustment of the individual channels for linearity, and usually
with some balancing of the channels to produce a gray-balanced or neutral
state; this is known as the “reference” or “golden” state. In fact, there are as
many reference states as there are combinations of device, resolution, media
and ink.
When you install a profile as a device profile, it is important to know which state of
the device can be used when the profile is created. This enables you to associate a cali-
bration for that state with the profile. Once you know this state, you can use the Linear
Calibration From option in the Install ICC Profile dialog box to choose a corre-
sponding calibration for the ICC profile as you install it.

 2.3 Install ICC profiles

2.3 Install ICC profiles

After you have set up access to HIPP, you can begin installing ICC profiles.
Note: You should also follow this procedure for installing any ICC profiles that you
wish to use for HSCS or HFCS.
1. Choose Color > Install ICC Profile. You see a normal file selection dialog box.
2. Enter the path where the ICC profile resides and click Select. The Install ICC
Profile dialog box appears.

Figure 2.3 Install ICC Profile dialog box

3. In the Install ICC Profile dialog box, specify options for the profile you are
installing, based on how you want to use it. See Table 2.1.
Depending on the type of ICC profile, some options may be unavailable. Note
that you can simultaneously install a suitable profile as an input profile, an
emulation profile, and a device profile.

AG50237 Rev. 3 15
2 Using the Harlequin ICC Profile Processor

Field Description

Name Enter the name that you wish to see in other HCPS
menus when you are choosing items installed from
this ICC profile. The original name shown comes
from the ICC profile and may be hard to relate to the
use of the profile. For example, you can edit this name
so that it clearly identifies the printing conditions by
adding the name of the media and the resolution for
which it is valid.
The ICC Profile Information box under this field shows
details about the ICC profile you are installing.
Input Profile Select this option to install the ICC profile as an input
profile (either CMYK or RGB).
Named colors Select this option to install an ICC profile for specifi-
cally defined colors. This profile allows for the expan-
sion of the set of named colors (such as PANTONE
colors) recognized by the Harlequin RIP.
Device Link Profile Select this option to install the ICC profile as a device
link profile.
Note: A device link profile maps colors between two
device-dependent color spaces. In this case, the device
link profile bypasses colorimetry to map colors
directly between the input device and the output
device.

Table 2.1 Fields in the Install ICC Profile dialog box

16 AG50237 Rev. 3
 2.3 Install ICC profiles

Field Description

Emulation An emulation profile is a profile that enables an

output device such as a proofing printer to reproduce
the color characteristics of another device. Because a
typical proofing device has a larger gamut than a
printing press, the proofer limits the range of colors
that it will print to the gamut of the device being
emulated.
Select this option to install the ICC profile as an
emulation profile. This option is disabled if the profile
being installed is a device link profile.
Note: A profile installed in this way is usable in
HFCS only.
Device Profile Select this option to install the ICC profile as a device
(or output) profile. You must also choose a device in
the For Device field, if you select this option. Once
installed with this option, the profile becomes avail-
able as an output profile in the New Color Setup
dialog box.
For Device If you selected the Device Profile option, choose the
output device for the device profile. If you wish to use
the same profile for more than one device, you must
install it for each device.

Table 2.1 Fields in the Install ICC Profile dialog box (Continued)

AG50237 Rev. 3 17
2 Using the Harlequin ICC Profile Processor

Field Description

Linear Calibration Once you have made a choice in the For Device menu,
From choose an entry from this menu. Each entry is a
profile associated with the device, and used here to
provide a calibration. Choose the profile from which
you want to copy the calibration.
• Choose Linear if the ICC profile you are
installing has been made relative to the raw
state of the device.
• Otherwise, choose the reference state indicated
by your profile manufacturer. Typically, the
name of a profile in the menu gives enough
information to match it with the ICC profile
information of the profile you are installing.
Resample on Install Select this option to enable resampling. This reduces
the size of the profile you are installing and saves disk
space. However, resampling also means less accurate
color reproduction if you mean to use the rendering
dictionaries in HFCS or HSCS. You must assess your
situation and decide accordingly.

Table 2.1 Fields in the Install ICC Profile dialog box (Continued)

To resume the process, follow the next steps.

4. Click Install to install the profile.
The Harlequin RIP runs a short job to do this, typically taking under 10 seconds.
This job produces no output but does display an activity icon in the status area
of the RIP tool bar.
5. Repeat this procedure from step 1 to install any other ICC profiles that you wish
to use. Unless you are using device link profiles, HIPP must have available one
of each of these three profile types: input CMYK profile, input RGB profile,
and a device (or output) profile.

 2.4 Uninstall ICC profiles

2.4 Uninstall ICC profiles

From version 5.5r1, a method is provided to uninstall ICC profiles from the Harlequin
RIP.
1. Select the Color > Uninstall ICC Profiles... menu item. On selection the following
dialog appears:

2. Use the Device and Color Space drop down lists at the top of the dialog to limit
the list of profiles to a particular device and color space.
Note: Input profiles are not device specific so will appear whatever the Device
selector is set to.
The related profiles will appear in the main Profile window.
Note: The profile list only shows ICC profiles, that is, those containing the
%%ICC Profile tag. See Note on ProofReady profiles below.

3. The Uninstall for uses check boxes allow uninstallation for All uses of the
selected profiles, or just some. The check boxes are only enabled when profiles
are selected. If All is selected the five individual checkboxes are all disabled,
otherwise they are enabled if at least one of the selected profiles was installed
for that use. For example, if none of the selected profiles were installed as
emulations the 'Emulation' check box is disabled.
4. Click on the Uninstall button to uninstall the selected profiles. The Uninstall
button is only enabled when there are profiles selected.

AG50237 Rev. 3 19
2 Using the Harlequin ICC Profile Processor

5. To close the dialog click the Done button. The dialog is not automatically closed
after clicking Uninstall.
Note: You are unable to uninstall ICC profiles that are being used by color
setups. If an attempt is made to uninstall such a profile a message is displayed:
Unable to uninstall the profile ‘<profile name>’ because it is
used by the color setup ‘<color setup name>’

Note: ProofReady profiles are omitted from the list of profiles. For a profile to
be recognized as a ProofReady profile it must:

6. In the New Color Setup dialog box, choose the options for the color setup you
are defining. We recommend that you select the Output Profile first; it can affect
choices in other fields. Use Table 2.2 as a guideline. You must specify options in
the ICC Output Profile and the ICC Rendering Intents fields before saving this
color setup.
Note: The options shown in this dialog box always take effect for jobs that do
not contain color management information. If the job contains color manage-
ment, you must select the Override color management in job check box if you
want to use the RIP color management options.

Fields Description

CMYK Input Profile Select an input or device link profile from the drop-
down list. The list includes (None), all Harlequin-
produced profiles (such as DuPont Cromalin and 3M
Matchprint), and any installed ICC profiles. Device
link profiles will display a double-sided arrow ( <-> )
next to the device link name.
If you select (None), CMYK colors are treated as
device-dependent color and subject to the PostScript
Level 1 rules for conversions.
Section D.1 on page 75 describes all supplied CMYK
input profiles.
RGB Input Profile Select an input or device link profile from the drop-
down list. The list includes (None) for device-depen-
dent color, all Harlequin-produced profiles (including
Trinitron and sRGB), and any installed ICC
profiles.

Fields Description

ICC Rendering Select one of these options:

Intents
• (None)—Applies no rendering intents. (This
option appears only if you have chosen (None)
for both input profiles.)
• (ICC Auto Switching)—Applies different
rendering intents to different objects on the
same page. This is a fixed mapping: perceptual
for images, colorimetric for all other objects.
• (->ICC perceptual)—Applies perceptual
rendering and is especially suitable for contone
images.
• (->ICC saturation)—Applies highly satu-
rated colors. Suitable for charts, presentations,
and business graphics.
• (->ICC colorimetric)—Applies absolute or
relative colorimetric rendering, based on the
setting of the Fill background with paper color of
input job check box. Select the check box to use
absolute colorimetric.
See Section 1.3 on page 4 for detailed descriptions of
these styles.
Fill background with Select this check box if you want the output device to
paper color of input lay down a background which matches the paper base
job color of the input. If you do not check this box, colors
will be adjusted so that the white base is mapped to
the (final) printer’s paper color.

Fields Description

Preserve 100% Select this check box if you do not want the black-
process black only part of your input to be converted to a CMYK-
equivalent color. This option is particularly relevant
for black text because it avoids colored fringes.
Color adjustments Select Type A or Type B from the drop-down list.
Type A and Type B are different modes of interpre-
tation. Typically, Type B produces better results but is
slower than Type A but the output time and quality
are device-dependent so you must experiment with
these options.
Note: From version 5.3r4 fogging is removed for
CMYK images. From version 5.5 fogging is also
removed from RGB images and improvements have
been made across the whole color range making
Type A a much more viable option.

Override color Select this check box to override the color manage-
management in job ment in the job and use the options set in this dialog
box.
If you do not check this box, the Harlequin RIP uses a
color space array, embedded ICC profile, or a color
space resource, if found in the job, to transform the
image and treats the image as a color-independent
color image. See Appendix C, “Jobs Containing Color
Management Data” for details.

Using the Harlequin Standard

3

Color System

The Harlequin Standard Color System (HSCS) offers fully customizable color calibra-
tion capabilities based on the device, image components, and the color reproduction
process used. When you enable HSCS, you also automatically enable the ability to
install ICC profiles. The Harlequin RIP can also use an ICC profile embedded in an
image. Figure 3.1 shows the whole process from installing an ICC profile to printing a
job.
Unlike HIPP, which uses only ICC profiles, HSCS allows you to use both ICC profiles
and Harlequin-produced profiles. This enables you to avoid some limitations that are
possible when using only ICC profiles.
HSCS offers these features:
• Use of predefined color rendering intents from both Harlequin-produced
profiles and any ICC profiles that you have installed. You can specify a single
rendering intent for all objects on a page or specify auto-switching. In auto-
switching, all images use perceptual rendering intent and all other elements on
the page use colorimetric; unlike HFCS, you cannot explicitly choose how
specific objects on a page are color transformed. You can choose between
rendering intents taken from Harlequin profiles (Auto Switching) or from
ICC profiles (ICC Auto Switching).

AG50237 Rev. 3 31

• Calibrated reproduction of named PANTONE colors from the PANTONE

MATCHING SYSTEM. You cannot control this feature in HSCS dialog boxes,
as is possible in HFCS; it happens automatically.

3.1 Get ready to use HSCS

Before creating color setups using HSCS, you must set up access to HSCS by
supplying a password. There are two possibilities:
• The password enables HSCS for all devices. See Section 3.1.1.
• The password enables HSCS for a single device; for example, a color proofing
printer. See Section 3.1.2.
Note: When you enable the Harlequin Full Color System (HFCS), you also automati-
cally enable HSCS and the ability to install ICC profiles.
The Harlequin RIP can read the password from a file if the installation process for a
plugin or other option supplied one. If the Harlequin RIP reads a password file, which
it does when next starting up, it displays a dialog box with a message like this:
Imported password file Passwords/1234-56-7654321.pwd

Click OK to dismiss this dialog box. You can still use the manual procedures as a way
of enabling or checking options.

or you may see nothing (so that the entry ends in []).
There are various possibilities, as listed here:
• If there is an entry for the correct device and it ends in [HSCS], your device
is already enabled for this color option. Click OK twice to close the
Configure RIP dialog boxes and see Section 3.2 on page 35.
• If there is an entry for the correct device, but it ends in [] instead of
[HSCS], you must enable HSCS for this device. Continue this procedure at
step 4.
• If there is an entry for the correct device, but it ends in a code that is not
[HSCS], you must enable HSCS for this device. Continue this procedure at
step 4.
• If there is no entry for the device, you must configure the device using the
Device Manager dialog box. (Click OK twice to close the Configure RIP
dialog boxes and see the installation guide for your chosen device. For

System

The Harlequin Full Color System (HFCS) offers fully customizable color manage-
ment capabilities based on the device, image components, and the color reproduction
process used. When you enable HFCS, you also automatically enable the Harlequin
Standard Color System (HSCS) and the ability to install ICC profiles. (The Harlequin
RIP can also use an ICC profile embedded in an image.) Figure 4.1 shows the whole
process from installing an ICC profile through defining custom color rendering intents
to printing a job.
Unlike HIPP, which can use only ICC profiles, HFCS allows you to use both ICC
profiles and Harlequin-produced profiles. This ability, shared with HSCS, enables you
to avoid some limitations that are possible when using only ICC profiles.
In addition, HFCS provides features that allow greater control over parameters used in
creating color setups. These unique features include:
• Customizable color rendering intents. You can control exactly the way you
want to reproduce different objects on a page by defining custom rendering
intents and specifying which types of objects the intents should affect. For
example, on the same page, you can simultaneously reproduce contone images
using a perceptual rendering intent (photorealistically) and reproduce logos
using absolute colorimetry.

AG50237 Rev. 3 45
4 Using the Harlequin Full Color System

Note: If you are using HIPP or HSCS, a limited portion of this feature is avail-
able in the New Color Setup dialog box. To use it, choose one of the (ICC Auto
Switching) or (Auto Switching) entries in the Rendering Intents field. With
auto-switching, HIPP or HSCS decides when to switch between intents; you
cannot explicitly choose how specific objects on a page are color transformed.
• Color reproduction that is adjustable based on viewing conditions. Viewing
conditions available include Graphic Arts D50 and Monitor D65.
• Calibrated and configurable reproduction of named PANTONE colors from the
PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM.
• Manual overriding capability.

Click OK twice to close the Configure RIP Extras and Configure RIP dialog
boxes.
You are now ready to begin using HFCS, for the named device only. See Section 4.2.

4.2 Define color rendering intents

You can define custom color rendering intents, but this is not essential at first use of
HFCS.
HFCS is supplied with default rendering intents that you can use immediately. Each
default rendering intent has a name that closely matches the style on which it is based,
and the styles correspond to, but are independent of, the names of intents supplied in
ICC profiles. For example, the Default Perceptual rendering intent uses the Percep-
tual style.
If you want to use only default rendering intents or rendering intents derived from ICC
profiles, see “Install ICC profiles” on page 53 or “Define color setups using HFCS”
on page 54. You can return to the remainder of this section at any time that you want
to create a custom rendering intent.

4.2.1 Custom rendering intents

You define a custom color rendering intent by specifying combinations of settings to
be used with a style.
Some settings allow you to achieve the intention of the style in a way that best suits
the technology of a particular output device without having a significant visual effect.

AG50237 Rev. 3 49
4 Using the Harlequin Full Color System

For example, you can alter the black generation strategy. Other settings allow you to
modify the visual appearance of the result, but move away from being strictly colori-
metric.
Follow these steps to create customized intents.
1. Choose Color > Color Rendering Intent Manager. The Color Rendering Intent
Manager dialog box appears.

Color adjustments Select Type A or Type B from the drop-down list.
Type A and Type B are different modes of interpreta-
tion; typically, Type B produces better results but is
slower than Type A. The output time and quality are
device-dependent so you must experiment with these
options.
Note: From version 5.3r4 fogging is removed for CMYK

If this is the first time you are using newly defined color rendering intents to print a
job, the Harlequin RIP requires a few extra minutes to produce the output. This is
because the Harlequin RIP must generate the color rendering dictionaries before
printing. If you submit another print job that uses the same intents, the Harlequin RIP
does not regenerate these dictionaries and printing proceeds more quickly.

Appendix A

A UCR and Black Generation

It is always desirable to use the full capabilities of an output device. This often means
processing a supplied 3-color definition so that it uses all colors of a 4-color output
device. There are various techniques for achieving this. Undercolor removal (UCR),
gray component replacement (GCR), and black generation are some of these tech-
niques.
When HCPS color management is in use, there are two places where you can see
controls that apply these techniques. This appendix describes the circumstance where
each control has an effect.

A.1 The Harlequin RIP without HCPS

In the Harlequin RIP without HCPS, UCR and black generation follow the settings in
the Color Options dialog box, accessed by clicking Color Options in the Edit Page
Setup dialog box.
It is worth stressing that this black generation affects only RGB color inputs, and only
when RGB is expressed in a device-dependent way. CMYK and device-independent
RGB are not affected by these settings.
See “Color Separation” in the ECRM RIP Manual for details.

AG50237 Rev. 3 63
Appendix A UCR and Black Generation

A.2 The Harlequin RIP with HCPS enabled

In the Harlequin RIP with HCPS and suitable profiles there are several possibilities:
• HIPP and an ICC profile
The black generation is defined in the output profile and cannot be altered.
• HIPP, HSCS, or HFCS and a device link profile
The color transformation is specified in the device link profile and cannot be
altered.
• HIPP, HSCS, or HFCS with the RGB input profile set to (None)
This is equivalent to using the Harlequin RIP without HCPS. In this case, UCR
and black generation follow the settings in the Color Options dialog box. See
the ECRM RIP Manual for details.
• HSCS or HFCS and a Harlequin profile
The black generation is defined in the rendering intent. If you are using HFCS,
you can influence this by choosing values for Black generation and Maximum ink
in the Color Rendering Intent Details dialog box. See page 51 for details.
When any HCPS option is enabled, that option processes all device-independent color
inputs. The information in the job is overridden by HCPS if you select the Override
color management in job check box in the Color Setup dialog box. If you leave this box
unselected, Appendix C, “Jobs Containing Color Management Data” describes the
rules used to decide how the data in the job takes effect.
Some common sources of device-independent RGB are calibrated color from applica-
tions such as Adobe PhotoShop, and PDF jobs.

Appendix B

Creating a Logo
B

In HFCS, the Color Setup dialog box allows you to specify a color mapping strategy
for use with logos. However, HFCS cannot guess when a graphic is a logo; it must be
explicitly told.
To identify a logo, use the setcolorrenderingintent operator (a Harlequin exten-
sion to the PostScript language). For example, if an EPS file is to be treated as a logo,
the line
/Logo setcolorrenderingintent

should appear at the start of the file.

Currently, the only way to insert this line is to edit the file by hand.

Management Data

Settings within the Harlequin RIP, in the PostScript-language or PDF job, and in the
images themselves can all control the processing of images in a job.
This appendix describes the settings that influence this processing and explains which
setting takes precedence in each particular case. Section C.4 on page 71 shows a
summary in tabular form.
Note: Some options apply only to EPS files produced by Adobe Photoshop.
In addition, Section C.5 on page 73 describes how to select the correct ICC profile for
embedding in Photoshop 5.0 images and higher.
Section C.6 on page 73 describes the cases specific to PDF jobs.

C.1 PostScript-language jobs and image files

The Harlequin RIP checks the following when processing jobs containing Photoshop
EPS images or TIFF/JPEG images containing embedded ICC profiles:
• Does the current page setup use a color management option?
• Is the Override color management in job check box selected in the Color Setup
dialog box?
• Is the Adobe Photoshop option Honor ‘PostScript Color Management’ selected in
the Page Setup Option Extras dialog box?

AG50237 Rev. 3 67
Appendix C Jobs Containing Color Management Data

• Does the image contain a PostScript color space array? (Photoshop EPS files
only)
• Does the image contain an embedded ICC profile?
• Is the UseCIEColor parameter set to true in the job?

C.2 Page setup uses a color management option

If the current page setup uses a color setup and the Override color management in job
check box is selected in the Color Setup dialog box, the Harlequin RIP uses the
settings in the color setup. It treats the job as CMYK or RGB.
If the current page setup uses a color setup but the Override color management in job
check box is not selected in the Color Setup dialog box, the Harlequin RIP checks for
color management information in the image and the job. It uses the color management
information in the following strict order.
• If the image contains a PostScript color space array (Photoshop EPS files only):
The Harlequin RIP uses the color space array (CSA) to transform the image. It
treats the image as a device-independent color image.
• Otherwise, if the image contains an embedded ICC profile:
The Harlequin RIP uses the ICC profile to transform the image. It treats the
image as a device-independent color image.
• Otherwise, if the UseCIEColor parameter set to true in the job:
The Harlequin RIP uses the DefaultGray, DefaultRGB or DefaultCMYK
ColorSpace resources to transform the image colors. It treats the image as a
device-independent color image.
• Otherwise, if there is no color management information in the job:
The Harlequin RIP uses the settings in the color setup. It treats the job as
CMYK or RGB.

68 AG50237 Rev. 3
 C.3 Page setup does not use a color management option

C.3 Page setup does not use a color management option

If the current page setup does not use a color setup, then the Harlequin RIP uses the
setting of the Adobe Photoshop option Honor ‘PostScript Color Management’ in the
Page Setup Option Extras dialog box.

C.3.1 Honor ‘PostScript Color Management’ option selected

The Harlequin RIP checks for color management information in the image and the job
in the following strict order.
• If the image contains a PostScript color space array (Photoshop EPS files only):
The Harlequin RIP uses the color space array (CSA) to transform the image. It
treats the image as a device-independent color image.
• Otherwise, if the UseCIEColor parameter set to true in the job:
The Harlequin RIP uses the DefaultGray, DefaultRGB, or DefaultCMYK
ColorSpace resources to transform the image colors. It treats the image as a
device-independent color image.
Otherwise, if the UseCIEColor parameter is set to false or has no value in the job,
the Harlequin RIP treats the job as CMYK or RGB.

C.3.2 Honor ‘PostScript Color Management’ option not selected

• If the current page setup does not use a color setup AND the Honor ‘PostScript
Color Management’ option is not selected in the Page Setup Option Extras
dialog box:
The Harlequin RIP checks the setting of the UseCIEColor parameter in the job.
• If the UseCIEColor parameter is set to true in the job:
The Harlequin RIP uses the DefaultGray, DefaultRGB, or DefaultCMYK
ColorSpace resources to transform the image colors. It treats the image as a
device-independent color image.
• Otherwise, if the UseCIEColor parameter is set to false or has no value in the
job:
The Harlequin RIP treats the job as CMYK or RGB

C.5 Embedding ICC profiles in Photoshop images

This section describes how to select the correct ICC profile for embedding in
Photoshop 5.0 images and higher. There are number of dialog boxes that relate to ICC
profiles in Photoshop. Here we explain how to set the options in these Photoshop
dialog boxes.
• File > Color Settings > Profile Setup
In this dialog box you indicate which types of images should have profiles
embedded (RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, and Lab). Also in this dialog box, you can
select Assumed Profiles. Note that these assumed profiles are not the profiles that
are embedded.

• File > Color Settings > RGB Setup

File > Color Settings > Grayscale Setup
These dialog boxes do not contain an explicit ICC Profile option. However, for
RGB and Gray images, Photoshop converts the set of parameters selected in this
dialog box to ICC profiles, and it is these profiles that are embedded. You can
create ICC profiles directly using the Save... option in this dialog box.
Note that “standard” ICC profiles are not supported in Photoshop 5.0 for RGB
or grayscale images.

• File > Color Settings > CMYK Setup

You select ICC profiles and also the Color Management Module using this
dialog box. It is these profiles that are embedded.

C.6 PDF color management

PDF jobs can use a variety of color spaces, including device-dependent spaces such as
DeviceCMYK.

Typically, when using device-independent color spaces, PDF version 1.2 files use the
CalGray and CalRGB color spaces and PDF version 1.3 files use the ICCBased color
space but these usages are under the control of the creating applications — see the Job
Options dialog box: for the Advanced tab in Distiller 3.0; for the Color tab in
Distiller 4.0.

72 AG50237 Rev. 3
 C.6 PDF color management

Full use of device-independent color requires an HCPS option to be enabled.

C.6.1 How the controls interact

When an HCPS option is enabled and the page setup uses a color setup, the choices
made in the HCPS color setup override both Honor ‘PDF Color Management’ in the
PDF Options dialog box and Honor ‘PostScript Color Management’ in the Page Setup
Option Extras dialog box.
For example, if the HCPS option Override color management in job is selected then the
result is the same as if both Honor ‘PDF Color Management’ and Honor ‘PostScript Color
Management’ were not selected. Additionally, a HCPS color setup can specify
different input color spaces.
Without a HCPS option being enabled, the following happens.
When Honor ‘PDF Color Management’ is not selected: the Harlequin RIP converts
CalGray to DeviceGray, and CalRGB to DeviceRGB; the Harlequin RIP converts
ICCBased color spaces to DeviceGray, DeviceRGB, or DeviceCMYK according to the
alternative color spaces.
When Honor ‘PDF Color Management’ is selected, the Harlequin RIP treats CalGray,
CalRGB, and ICCBased color spaces as device-independent color, processing them
through the installed CRD according to the standard PostScript color model. The only
exception is when an ICCBased color space contains an ICC device link profile, when
the device link is used.
Honor ‘PDF Color Management’ has no effect on the Lab color space.

Note: When there is no enabled HCPS option, ICCBased color spaces are always
converted to the alternative space.

Seeing Color
E

This appendix gives a brief description of the perception and measurement of color. It
forms an introduction to understanding the issues in color printing, listed in
Appendix F, “Printing Color”.

E.1 Perception of color

The perception of color is both biological and psychological. The biological aspect is
the eye’s detection of certain wavelengths of light. The psychological aspect is the
way the sensation of color is processed by the mind. For hundreds of years,
researchers have tried to express the human perception of color in objective and quan-
tifiable terms. But since all people vary in how they process color, this has been a
formidable task.
From a purely physical point of view, seeing color requires the presence of three
elements: a light source, an object that interacts with the light, and a receiver (the eye).
An object has a “color” because it absorbs some wavelengths and reflects or transmits
others. For example, a tomato appears red because it absorbs green and blue light and
reflects red light.
Light, a form of electromagnetic energy, can be described as waves. The length of a
wave is its wavelength. Wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm), that is, one
millionth of a millimeter. Wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm are visible to the

AG50237 Rev. 3 81

human eye. “Red,” “Green,” and other colors are names assigned to a certain range of
wavelength.

Printing Color

This appendix describes the issues in achieving faithful color reproduction and how
the treatment of these issues has changed with the availability of digital technology
and device-independent color.

F.1 Issues in color printing

Color printing is a difficult art. At the core is the following problem: how does one
person (or scanner, application, and so on) specify a color sufficiently for another
person (or printer, monitor, and so on) to reproduce the color as the first person
intended.
The color printing process begins with the designer’s ideas and the customer’s specifi-
cations. These specifications must be communicated to many people who will render
and reproduce these colors on different devices. At each stage of production, output
from one process becomes input for the next process. Each of these processes involves
color in a different color space; from photographic film to monitor RGB to CMYK
printing on different output devices. At each step, judgement on color is made by
different viewers under different viewing conditions.
With the proliferation of affordable and quality input/output devices and software
packages, users are no longer buying solutions from a single vendor. Rather, they
purchase different system components from different vendors and combine the

AG50237 Rev. 3 83
Appendix F Printing Color

elements to create an integrated process. This creates an increasing need for effective
color management.

F.2 Color management

The task of color management is to ensure that color jobs from many different sources
and printed on many different devices appear consistent. Color management allows a
printer to manipulate any type of color image using any type of device to reliably
render the output on any type of media in a seamless manner.
In a traditional setup, a printer who was asked to reproduce a colored picture would
scan the picture and use the resulting data to make films and plates for use on a partic-
ular press. Since the press was run in a controlled, consistent way, and the scanner was
set up to produce good output on a particular press, this method would reliably
produce color output.
This method, however, has its limitations. A very important limitation is that it does
not provide an easy way to ensure consistent color reproduction across different
printing environments. In the traditional setup, the printing job is not portable to
another device or another printing environment. In addition, since prints are manually
defined and manipulated with density readings, formal training and education is
required for proper handling of print jobs.
The biggest advantage in many of today’s color management solution systems is their
ability to transform color into device-independent color and thereby make the job
available for print on any device. For instance, a file that has been proofed on a inkjet
printer can be separated, accurately output on a film imagesetter, and passed to a color
printing press for printing with good agreement between the initial proof and the final
production print run.

F.3 Color gamuts

The color gamut is the entire range of colors possible in a color system such as a
photograph, a color monitor, or a printing process. The larger the color gamut, the
larger the number of distinct colors (shades) the eye perceives. The human eye is
capable of perceiving billions of different colors. In contrast, a color monitor has an
upper limit of sixteen million colors that it can reproduce, and a printing press might
typically manage five thousand.

84 AG50237 Rev. 3
 F.3 Color gamuts

In the CIE x-y chromaticity diagram, shown in Figure F.1, the pure spectral colors are
distributed around the curved edge of a horseshoe-shaped chart, with a straight line
connecting the blue and red ends of that curve. The strongest (purest) colors are at the
edge of the diagram, while mixtures of those colors fill the interior. (All the color
names are informal indications of which color appears where; a label like Red is too
imprecise for scientific or technical use, unless it is given an accompanying specifica-
tion.) The interior colors vary smoothly with position, with the influence of the colors
on the edge diminishing as the distance from the edge increases. The small black
square near the center of the horseshoe shape indicates white or the absence of a color
bias.
For example, a straight line passing from the edge at the point labeled Red to the
square representing White would pass from a saturated red, through areas with light-
ening shades of pink, before arriving at white. Similarly, a line staying near the edge
and passing from Red to Yellow would pass through areas of red, orange, and yellow.

Figure F.1 also shows the typical gamut of a color monitor. The difficulties of using
informal color names become obvious when you know that the corners of this trian-
gular gamut, RGB, are often called Red, Green, and Blue.

AG50237 Rev. 3 85
Appendix F Printing Color

Figure F.2 shows that different devices have different color gamuts; colors that can be
created on one device can be beyond the capabilities of other devices. Gamuts are
influenced by calibration, environment, age of the device, model of the device, and so
on.

For a given process, many colors simply cannot be reproduced. Furthermore, different
processes can reproduce different colors: given two offset printers, for example, each
can probably image some colors that the other is not capable of imaging.

F.4 Device-independent and device-dependent color

A device-dependent color scheme specifies how to reproduce a color on a particular
device, by saying how much of each colorant to use. The limitation of using this
scheme is that the appearance of the final output may vary depending on the kinds of
CMYK inks used, the color the paper is printed on, the viewing conditions, and so on.
(There are similar variations for RGB systems, depending on the display phosphors,
monitor settings and so on.) The result is that it is not possible to predict the exact
appearance of device-dependent color jobs until they are printed.
One workaround to using the device-dependent color scheme is to adapt the job for a
particular printer. The original CMYK data is adjusted according to the known charac-
teristics of the output device, and then printed. This scheme works quite well where a

86 AG50237 Rev. 3
 F.5 Mapping between gamuts

job is always printed on the same printer and setup, but if printed on a different printer
with a different setup, the job will almost certainly look different. A CMYK job will
only use the colors in the gamut of a ‘typical’ CMYK printer. If the final medium has
a bigger color range, colors are needlessly restricted.
A device-independent color scheme is specified in a general way, independent of the
final output device. The work of the International Committee of Illumination (CIE)
over the past 50 years has established a number of standards for doing this. One
important issue when using the device-independent scheme is that a job may specify
colors that are not within the gamut of the printer. Mapping unprintable colors to print-
able colors becomes an important science when using device-independent color
schemes.
Device profiles — software that translates color data for one device between its native
color space and a standard color space (the ICC profile connection space) — assist in
this mapping. A device profile is a table or mathematical expression that characterizes
the color behavior of a color imaging device. Profiles can be used for scanners or input
devices, for monitors, and for printers and other output devices. The ICC (Interna-
tional Color Consortium) has standardized templates for these profiles. These profiles
are supplied by the device manufacturer, generated by the user, or sold as part of a
color management system. By obtaining a compatible color-management system and
one device profile for each piece of equipment, you can make that equipment part of
the system.
Note: ICC-compatible profiles that characterize the same device do not necessarily
provide and guarantee the same quality.
Device link profiles, despite the similar name, have a different and more limited func-
tion. A device link profile translates color data for the native color space of one device
to and from the native color space of one other device. Each pair of devices requires a
separate device link profile. For three devices, there are three pairs; for four devices,
there are six pairs; and the number of pairs rises rapidly. Device link profiles can
provide high quality translations, but do not allow for intermediate color management.

F.5 Mapping between gamuts

When the input and output gamuts of a system differ, only the colors within both
gamuts can be reproduced exactly. Figure F.3 shows the gamut of a monitor (input)
and printer (output) in an area where there are other colors, some possible only on the

AG50237 Rev. 3 87
Appendix F Printing Color

monitor and some possible only on the printer. Some mapping is necessary to repro-
duce colors possible only on the monitor on the output printer.

Monitor colors out of printer gamut

Printed colors out of monitor gamut

Figure F.3 Detail of out of gamut areas

There are several possible mappings. To show how some of these mappings work, we
can consider example colors possible on the monitor but not possible on the printer.
In Figure F.4, colors out of the printer gamut are mapped to a ‘nearby’ point on the
edge of the gamut. In this example, A1 is already at a point on the printer gamut limit,
and points A2 and A3 are outside the gamut limit. A1 (and all colors within the printer
gamut) are reproduced exactly. Points A2 and A3 are mapped to the ‘nearby’ points on
the printer gamut, B2 and B3 respectively. This is absolute colorimetric mapping.
Note: In the following diagrams, the direction of the arrows for mapped colors points
towards a white point.

Figure F.5 shows perceptual mapping, a scheme in which there are no abrupt changes
in mapping. Colors at the edge of the input gamut (A2) map to the edge of the output
gamut (C2). Other out of gamut colors map to colors just inside the output gamut map.
Even colors within the printer gamut are mapped, to a degree that depends on their
distance from the edge of the printer gamut.

There are other possible mappings, but these are harder to show in the chromaticity
