Colour matching (advanced) > 54
G RAPHIC PRO
This section describes the colour matching options available for
Graphic Pro.
The Graphic Pro colour matching system is based around ICC
profiles. These profiles are down loaded to the printer using the
Profile Assistant utility and then selected in the printer driver.
When a job is sent to the printer, the ICC profiles are applied to
the print job on the printer.
W HAT CAN YOU DO WITH GRAPHIC PRO COLOUR MATCHING ?
The Graphic Pro colour matching system is both powerful and
flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro colour
matching system can be used:
M ATCHING PRINTER COLOUR TO AN RGB INPUT DEVICE
By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or monitor,
the printer's colour can be matched to the input device.
P RINTER SIMULATION
Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of another
printer, even when printing RGB documents. For best results, use
CMYK documents when simulating the colour output of other
printers.
CMYK INK SIMULATION
Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of a
commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color
inks).
NOTE:
Some features of Graphic Pro colour matching can only be
used if your printer is fitted with a hard disk. The printer hard
disk is required if you wish to download and use your own ICC
profiles to the printer.
The printer’s internal hard disk is an optional accessory for
some models.
If your printer does not have a hard disk fitted, you will only
be able to select the factory default profiles that are built-in
to the printer.
