ANOTHER
PRINTER
– RGB
SOURCE
DATA
The Graphic Pro colour matching system can be used to simulate
the colour output of another printer.
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 downloaded, make the appropriate
selections in the printer driver. These are described in the next
section (Windows page 49, Mac OS 9 page 51, Mac OS X
page 53).
1. RGB data 4. Printed document
2. RGB source profile 5. Scanner, monitor, camera, etc.
3. Printer output profile 6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile.
IMPORTANT!
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 inkjet printer on a toner-based printer.
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 on page 56.
