T YPES OF ICC PROFILE SUPPORTED
There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro color matching system:
G RAPHIC PRO WORKFLOW – OVERVIEW
There are three steps to using the Graphic Pro color matching system:
1. Gather or create ICC profiles (see page 31)
2. Download ICC profiles to the printer storage device (page 32)
3. Select the ICC profiles in the printer driver when printing (page 32)
Step 1 - Gather or create the ICC profiles
Where can I get the profiles I need?
PROFILE
TYPE
DESCRIPTION
RGB Source
(RGB Input)
These profiles describe the device that was used to
capture 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
Simulation
(CMYK input)
These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colors you
are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another
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
(CMYK Output)
This profile describes the color characteristics of your own
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.

TYPE
WHERE TO GET PROFILES
RGB Source
(RGB Input)
Obtain your RGB source profiles from your scanner,
camera or monitor manufacturer.
CMYK Simulation
(CMYK input)
Obtain the simulation profile from the manufacturer of the
printer you wish to simulate.
Printer
(CMYK Output)
The factory default profiles for your printer are built-in. If
you need greater accuracy, you should create your own
printer profile using third-party ICC profile creation
software.
Link Profile You can create Link profiles using third-party ICC profile
creation software.
Note that not all ICC profile creation software can create
Link profiles.
