ICC Workflow 4-9
ICC Workflow The ICC profile must be copied to a client workstation, where it is used
by a supported application to create color-corrected output.
To use an ICC profile, follow these steps:
• Create, then copy and install the profile from the RIP to your Macin-
tosh OS or Microsoft Windows based workstation
• Print the document to the RIP
Installing an ICC Profile To install an ICC profile, copy it from the RIP to the workstation over
your local area network or by copying them onto a removable storage
medium. In Microsoft Windows, you can simply right-click the profile’s
icon and click Install on the icon menu.
The target location for profiles on the workstation varies by operating
system:
Laying Out a Document It is important that no unsupported spot colors are specified within the
document or within any graphic files that are imported into or linked to
the main document.
Printing a Document Once sent to the RIP, the profile of an ICC print job cannot be changed,
since color correction in this workflow is applied at the client worksta-
tion, not at the RIP.
1. Set the color space in the printer driver (on the client workstation) to
Printer’s Default.
2. In the RIP’s Port Properties dialog box, Profile tab, select the ICC
Workflow, and specify the ink set and media you are using.
You can configure any existing port for the ICC workflow, or create
a new port for this purpose.
3. Print the document to the port on the RIP that you configured for
the ICC workflow.
In the ICC workflow, this selection applies linearization data only. It does
not apply a color profile in addition, as it would in the HP RIP Software
workflow.
