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

(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.
