ICC Workflow 3-5
ICC Workflow Once created on the ColorSpan print server, the ICC profile must
be copied to a client workstation, where it is used by a supported
application to create color-corrected output.
When copying ICC profiles to another ColorSpan print server,

The server always needs the .CX profile to properly RIP and print
files.
To use an ICC profile, follow these steps:
◆ Create, then copy and install the profile from the server to
your Macintosh OS or Microsoft Windows based workstation
◆ Create and set up a document for separated output using an
application that supports ICC profiles — for detailed instruc-

◆ Print the document as separations to the ColorSpan server
Note
You cannot create a MediaSaver document from files
sent as separations (created with an ICC profile).

that prepares these profiles for use with ColorSync and Free-
