INK SIMULATION
Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of a
commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color
inks).

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.

There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro
colour matching system:
P

(RGB Input)
CMYK

Printer

Link Profile
Graphic pro
D
ESCRIPTION
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 colours 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 colour 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.
