Input profiles provide information about the colour in the original device that was used to capture or display the image data. For example, an input device could be a scanner, digital camera, or monitor.
Output profiles provide information about the device to which you are printing.
The Using ICC Profiles function allows both an input profile (e.g. digital camera), and an output profile (e.g. the C7300 printer) to be selected. It uses both these profiles to generate a CRD (Colour Rendering Dictionary), and this is used to match the colours as closely as possible.
NOTE
This feature may not work for all application programs. However, many professional graphics applications offer a similar feature in their print settings, with the ability to choose a source (input) colour space, and a print (output) colour space.
