Group 2 - Color Settings (Easy Color Mode)
The Easy Color Option tab provides you with access to a collection of carefully selected color
management presets. The right color management choice is essential to making high quality transfers.

setting based on the composition of the original image. The chart below lists some guidelines for when
to choose different Easy Color settings. Choosing a setting and clicking the apply button automatically
sets the bitmap, vector, and output settings found on the advanced tab*.

Photo – Realistic
When to select: If your source image is a photograph or a photographic scene.
Color Management Goal: Realistic color reproduction. The goal is to reproduce
the transferred image with color that is as close as possible to the input image.
Clip Art and Text
When to select: If your source image is clip art, text, or a mixture of the two.
Color Management Goal: The goal is to generate colors that are vivid and

When to select: If your source image is clip art, text, or a mixture of the two and

based on the ColorSure palette.
ColorSure™ Photos
When to select: When you have a mix of bitmap and vector (text, clipart, or
shapes) and only the vector elements were designed using the ColorSure palette.
Color Management Goal: Generate output that reproduces photographic data
using the Photo - Realistic setting and uses ColorSure™ Spot Colors for the vector
components of the artwork.
