78 Profiles Chapter 7-Managing color Note: You can override the CMOCA settings and make additional adjustments to the color settings in the IPDS printer setting or in the AFP tab of the virtual printer. Profiles are used to reproduce color from one device's color space to another device's color space in a consistent manner. They provide the necessary information to convert color data between device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color spaces. You use profiles to color-manage your system. A source profile defines the RGB or CMYK color space of the object's source, providing information such as the white point, gamma, and type of phosphors used. A destination profile defines the gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The IC-309 print controller uses a device-independent color space to translate between the source color space and the color space of the output device. Creating a destination profile using an external device Create a destination profile with the i1, iSis, or i1 iO spectrophotometer using the Profiling tool.
