Types of ICC profile supported
There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro color matching system:
Profile type | Description |
|
|
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 colors you |
Simulation | are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another |
(CMYK input) | manufacturer's printer or an offset printing press. |
| Profiles are already |
| printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale. |
|
|
Printer | This profile describes the color characteristics of your own |
(CMYK Output) | printer. |
| The printer already has factory default profiles |
| 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. |
