Abstract

A method for remote proofing a digital press by performing the color rendering of a specific DFE and printer, including taking into account job and printer settings, while maintaining vector objects is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the method color renders a file to a PDF/X-1 format to enable a portable proof-ready file, independent of the target print system. The PDF/X-1a's output intent tag identifies the intended print condition within the file. The rendered PDF/X-1a file can be sent to any device that supports the PDF/X standard and automatically convert colors from the output intent color space to the proofer color space for an accurate hard copy proof. This functionality automates and streamlines the proofing task of the end user because there is no need to find and load the correct ICC profile on the proofing system.
