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.
Printer
(CMYK Output)
This profile describes the colour 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.
