NOTE:
Be aware that if the device you are trying to simulate has different colour capabilities from your own printer, exact colour simulation will not be possible. For example, it may be difficult to reproduce the exact colours of an ink jet printer on a
Additionally, differences in the range of printable colours between different devices can make simulation using RGB source data inaccurate. To achieve best results when simulating the colour output of other printers, you are strongly advised to use CMYK data as a source. See “CMYK ink simulations - CMYK source data” on page 68.
To simulate the output of another printer, you need to download at least 2 profiles to your printer using Profile Assistant:
>RGB Source Profile
>Simulation Target Profile
>Printer Output Profile (optional)
Once the profile(s) have been down loaded, make the appropriate selections in the printer driver. These are described in the next section (Windows page 64, Mac OS X page 60).
