placed objects have their own assigned profile and rendering intent. Then, each element is
converted from its own color space to the simulation color space, using its own rendering intent.
● Profile: select the profile that corresponds to the device you want to emulate (usually a
particular press profile or an standard press profile)
● Paper White: this checkbox emulates the whiteness of the paper on the monitor. The
effect is the same as using the Absolute Colorimetric rendering intent.
● Ink Black: this checkbox turns off the black point compensation for the rendering from
simulation to the monitor. So, if the simulation space black is lighter than the monitor black,
you will see the washed-out blacks on the monitor. This option is not recommended.
4. Select File > Print to print the image, converting it to an output space that depends on the
printer, the paper type, and the print quality.
● Select the Output tab (on the left), and then select Composite CMYK, in order to see the
CMYK profiles.
● Select the Color Management tab to see the following options.
● Source Space: select 'Proof' to emulate the proof color space.
● Profile: choose the profile based on the printer model and paper type you intend to use.
● Intent: select Relative or Absolute Colorimetric. The only difference is that Absolute
Colorimetric emulates the background color of the paper to be used by the press, while
Relative Colorimetric maps the paper color of the press to the paper color of the printer.
Driver settings
The PostScript driver is recommended for page-layout applications because it can color–manage
CMYK data, RGB data, or both simultaneously.
In the Paper/Quality tab (Windows) or Image Quality panel (Mac OS), set Print Quality to Best.
