ColorBurst provides superior color correction using ICC profiles, and PostScript
Language Level 3 for time when you might want to print work from such programs
as Quark XPress or InDesign.. Versions are available for both the Windows and
Mac OX X platforms and color controls are the same on both platforms. However,
ColorBurst for Windows offers more productivity tools, including nesting, preview,
crop and tile, as well as spooled queues for automated output.
It is a powerful, professional program that you can actually use without having
to have a degree in design and color. ColorBurst is easy to use.
X-Photo Includes support for PS, EPS, and PDF files, including EPS files with
JPEG compression and multipage files. Also features support for CMYK, RGB, Lab,
16-bit, and color-mapped TIFF files (including LZW compression), CMYK and RGB
JPEG files, and RTL raster files, and Postscript Language Level 1, 2, and 3.
Print from Applications
ColorBurst X·Photo allows you to print directly from your image-editing and
layout applications, such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Quark XPress.
ColorBurst X·Photo can be added as a network printer under Mac OS X and Windows
XP, 2000, and 2003.
Hot Folder
X·Photo has a Hot Folder that can be accessed locally or across a network. ColorBurst
can automatically scan the Hot Folder at a user-defined interval and can copy
remote files to the local disk before processing.
Job Manager
ColorBurst offers Job Management normally only seen in much more expensive RIP
applications. Files and folders can be dropped directly into the ColorBurst
Job Manager, opened from the ColorBurst File Open menu, placed or saved to the
optional Hot Folder, or even dropped on the ColorBurst application icon. Jobs
can be reordered, deleted, or placed on hold to be processed later. The ColorBurst
Job Manager can be used to create RTL files for reprinting in the future without
having to re-RIP them. Dragging RTL files into the Job List will send them to
the printer immediately, saving processing time and guaranteeing a perfect match
to the first job.
Linearization
To insure that profiles are always accurate, all versions of ColorBurst come
pre-linearized to give users a way to correct out-of-spec color automatically
and stay constant on exact color standards.
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 Epson¹s 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 are
pre-configured for each environment. Individual Ink Curve settings are available
to create custom ICC profiles or make slight color changes to the existing environment.
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 we also have included
a proofing feature for pre-press workflows. ColorBurst users can simulate any
press or other CMYK output device through the Simulation feature. ColorBurst
can also guarantee matching across several different devices when users have
large jobs they wish to split across several devices. This is an absolute must
for pre-press shops and shops that print the same jobs across several output
devices.
Spectrophotometer Support
ColorBurst X·Photo and X·Proof are shipped with SpectralVision, a separate application
that acts as an interface to a spectrophotometer. SpectralVision will capture
the data needed to create linearization files. This allows ColorBurst users
to re-linearize existing environments
Black & White Printing
With ColorBurst X·Photo, black and white prints look the same under any lighting
condition ‹ metamerism is completely eliminated.
