Default output profile
The default output profile consists of both a profile for your copier, describing its color
characteristics, and a calibration target that describes the expected behavior of the
copier. The output profiles provided with the ColorPASS correspond to various
Gradation Smoothing properties, which determine the amount of band smoothing the
ColorPASS applies to your print job. Coarse provides more smoothing than Fine.
There are two sets of output profiles, A and B, which you can calibrate for different
paper stocks.
In certain cases, you may wish to customize the default output profile to achieve
particular color effects (see page 4-12). If so, the new customized output profile is
applied to all data in the print job. You can also use ColorWise Pro Tools to download
your own output profile to the ColorPASS (see page 4-5). Downloaded output profiles
are at first associated with the default calibration target.

CMYK simulation

If you are using the ColorPASS to print proofs for an offset press job or to simulate
another print device, choose the appropriate CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK
Simulation Method print option settings (see page 1-8).
