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. Types of ICC profile supported There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro color matching system: Profile type RGB Source (RGB Input) CMYK Simulation (CMYK input) Printer (CMYK Output) Link Profile Description These profiles describe the device that was used to capture RGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera). The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile if you are trying to match to your screen. These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colors you are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another manufacturer's printer or an offset printing press. Profiles are already built-in to the printer for commercial printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale. This profile describes the color characteristics of your own printer. The printer already has factory default profiles built-in, but you can replace these profiles with your own if required. This is a special type of ICC profile that converts directly from CMYK to CMYK. For example, a link profile could convert directly from the CMYK space of another printer to the CMYK space of your printer.
