What can you do with Graphic Pro? The Graphic Pro color matching system is both powerful and flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro color matching system can be used: Matching printer color to an RGB input device By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or monitor, the printer's color can be matched to the input device. Printer simulation Your printer can be used to simulate the color output of another printer, even when printing RGB documents. For best results, use CMYK documents when simulating the color output of other printers. CMYK ink simulation Your printer can be used to simulate the color output of a commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color inks). More accurate printer color If you have created your own profiles with third-party ICC profile creation software, these can be downloaded to the printer and used when printing.
