ColorBurst X-Photo/Proof Product Details

Full PostScript Support
Postscript Language Level 1, 2, and 3 support for PS, EPS, and PDF files. This includes EPS files with JPEG compression and multipage files.

Neutral Black and White Prints
Black and white prints look the same under any lighting condition � metamerism is virtually eliminated.

Print from Applications
Allows you to print directly from your image-editing and layout applications, such as Quark XPress, InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

Hot Folder
Hot Folders can be accessed locally or across a LAN. ColorBurst automatically scans the Hot Folder at a user-defined interval. Remote files are copied to the local disk before processing to minimize network traffic.

Job Manager
ColorBurst offers Job Management normally only seen in much more expensive RIP applications. Files and folders can be dropped directly onto the ColorBurst Job Manager, placed or saved to an optional Hot Folder, or even dropped onto the ColorBurst application icon. Jobs can be reordered, deleted, or placed on hold to be processed later. The ColorBurst Job Manager allows archiving of processed files for future reprinting reorders without having to re-process the files. Dragging archived files into the print list will send them to the printer immediately, saving processing time and guaranteeing a perfect match to the first job.

Linearization
All versions of ColorBurst come pre-linearized to give customers the best results right out of the box. Using linearization ensures that your profiles are always accurate. As your printer ages it can always be brought back to it's optimal color state.

Ink Limit
ColorBurst utilizes Total Ink Limit and Black Preservation in pre-configured environments. The Black Preservation feature allows ColorBurst to achieve a deep rich black by not limiting the Black channel in relation to the Total Ink Limit. This feature enables users to get a great black with Epson�s Photo Black cartridge even on Matte and Fine Art papers. ColorBurst users who wish to make their own profiles have total control over their total ink limit and can determine the proper ink limit with the included CSE Media Ink Limit test.

Ink Curves
Controlling each individual ink channel is crucial to getting the best color out of your printer, ink, and media combination. ColorBurst's Ink Curves, which include Light Ink Conversion, are pre-configured for each environment. Individual Ink Curve settings are available to optimize transition from dark color primary to light color primary (i.e. Cyan to LT Cyan)

Bezier Curves
The Bezier Curves feature in ColorBurst allows users to make edits to their CMYK ink channels either prior to or after creating ICC Profiles. The Photoshop-style bezier curves can have up to 16 different edit points. Each point can be controlled to .1% accuracy. Each individual channel (CMYK) can have a unique curve or one curve can be applied to each channel.

Input Profiles
ColorBurst has separate Input ICC Profile settings for RGB, CMYK, and grayscale images. Any ICC input profile can be utilized with one of 4 different rendering intents. An option to use embedded profiles can be turned on or off. This is a must for any user who is embedding profiles in Photoshop or any other ICC-savvy application.

Output Profiles
ColorBurst not only utilizes CMYK output profiles but also includes a proofing feature for pre-press workflows. ColorBurst users can simulate any press or other CMYK output device through the Proofer feature.

Spectrophotometer Support
ColorBurst ship with ChromaCapture, a separate application, that collects data from your spectrophotometer. ChromaCapture is used to create and update linearization files.
