Forbest results, use CMYK documents when simulating thecolor output of other printers.CMYK ink simulationYour printer can be used to simulate the color output of acommercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or JapanColor inks).More accurate printer colorIf you have created your own profiles with third-party ICCprofile creation software, these can be downloaded to theprinter and used when printing.Types of ICC profile supportedThere are four classes of ICC profile supported by theGraphic Pro color matching system:Graphic Pro Workflow – overviewThere are three steps to using the Graphic Pro colormatching system:Profile type DescriptionRGB Source(RGB Input)These profiles describe the device that was used to captureRGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera).The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile ifyou are trying to match to your screen.CMYKSimulation(CMYK input)These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colors youare trying to simulate. Typically this would be anothermanufacturer's printer or an offset printing press.Profiles are already built-in to the printer for commercialprinting press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale.Printer(CMYK Output)This profile describes the color characteristics of your ownprinter.The printer already has factory default profiles built-in, butyou can replace these profiles with your own if required.Link Profile This is a special type of ICC profile that converts directlyfrom CMYK to CMYK.For example, a link profile could convert directly from theCMYK space of another printer to the CMYK space of yourprinter.
