Cmyk Ink Simulation; Types Of Icc Profile Supported - Oki C6150 User Manual

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
Graphic Pro Workflow – overview
There are three steps to using the Graphic Pro color
matching system:
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.
