MORE ACCURATE PRINTER COLOUR

If you have created your own profiles with third-party ICC profile creation software, these can be download to the printer and used when printing.

TYPES OF ICC PROFILE SUPPORTED

There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro colour matching system:

PROFILE

DESCRIPTION

TYPE

 

 

 

RGB Source

These profiles describe the device that was used to capture

(RGB Input)

RGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera).

 

The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile if

 

you are trying to match to your screen.

 

 

CMYK

These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colours you

Simulation

are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another

(CMYK input)

manufacturer's printer or an offset printing press.

 

Profiles are already built-in to the printer for commercial

 

printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale.

 

 

Printer

This profile describes the colour characteristics of your own

(CMYK Output)

printer.

 

The printer already has factory default profiles built-in, but

 

you can replace these profiles with your own if required.

 

 

Link Profile

This is a special type of ICC profile that converts directly

 

from CMYK to CMYK.

 

For example, a link profile could convert directly from the

 

CMYK space of another printer to the CMYK space of your

 

printer.
