W HAT CAN YOU DO WITH GRAPHIC PRO COLOUR MATCHING ?
The Graphic Pro colour matching system is both powerful and
flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro colour
matching system can be used:
M ATCHING PRINTER COLOUR TO AN RGB INPUT DEVICE
By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or monitor,
the printer's colour can be matched to the input device.
P RINTER SIMULATION
Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of another
printer, even when printing RGB documents. For best results, use
CMYK documents when simulating the colour output of other
printers.
CMYK INK SIMULATION
Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of a
commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color
inks).
M ORE ACCURATE PRINTER COLOUR
If you have created your own profiles with third-party ICC profile
creation software, these can be download to the printer and used
when printing.
T YPES OF ICC PROFILE SUPPORTED
There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro
colour matching system:
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 colours 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.
