CMYK INK SIMULATIONS - CMYK SOURCE DATA

The ICC-based colour matching system can be used to simulate the output on commercial printing presses.

You can select from the ink types most commonly used in different regions of the world:

>Euroscale – Europe

>Swop – North America

>Toyo – Japan

To print CMYK Ink Simulations, you must use PostScript printer driver supplied.

Although it is possible to perform CMYK ink simulations using the Office Colour options in the printer driver, we recommend that you use the Graphic Pro colour matching system to perform CMYK ink simulations, as this provides additional controls, such as using the “Preserve Black” feature, or specifying an alternative printer output profile.

Instructions on how to apply Ink Simulations appear in the next section (Windows page 69, Mac OS X page 70).
