Create Composite Output Profiles - Oce VarioPrint i Series Operation Manual

Create composite output profiles

You can use composite output profiles to simulate the colour reproduction of another printer or
printing condition. In the Graphics Arts market it is common to align colours between different
printers or offset presses. The colour reproduction of the simulated printer is described by the
composite output profile. The composite output profile is linked to a media print mode.
[227] Define a composite output profile
Import a simulation profile
1. Open the Settings Editor and go to: [Colour]→[Input profiles].
2. Click [Import].
3. Browse to the input profile (.icc file) of the simulated printer.
4. Define a unique name and the description.
5. Click [OK].
Create a composite output profile with an available input profile
1. Open the Settings Editor and go to: [Colour]→[Output profiles].
2. Click [Import].
3. Browse to the storage location of the output profile (.icc file).
4. In the [Import output profile] dialogue:
1. Define a name and description of the output profile.
2. Select one of the available input profiles, that represents the input profile of the simulated
printer or offset press.
When you select [None], device simulation is turned off and a normal output profile is
created.
3. Use the [Paper simulation] check box to enable paper simulation, for the selected
simulation profile. When paper simulation is enabled, the colour of the media on the
simulated printer is simulated. If paper simulation is enabled, the absolute colorimetric
rendering intent is applied, otherwise the relative colorimetric rendering intent is applied.
5. Click [OK].
The composite output profile, with a reference to the simulation profile, is in the list of output
profiles.
Create a composite output profile with an imported simulation profile
1. Open the Settings Editor and go to: [Colour]→[Output profiles].
2. Click [Import].
3. Browse to the storage location of the output profile (.icc file).
4. In the [Import output profile] dialogue:
1. Define a name and description of the output profile.
2. Select the simulation profile that represents the input profile of the simulated printer or
offset press.
