Choose the paper type you want to profile
from the Media Type list—for example,
Enhanced Matte Paper. Then click
Advanced Settings and choose your desired
print settings. Most of the time, the default
settings work well.

Once you've made your selections, choose
Color Management from the Options
menu. The Color Management settings
appear:
11
Click No Color Adjustment to ensure that
the driver doesn't alter the colors in the
profiling target. Then click Print.
If you see a warning that some PostScript-
specific settings will be ignored, click OK.

Quit Adobe Photoshop. When prompted to
save changes to the RGB Print Patches.tif
file, click Don't Save.
Once you've printed the target, you're ready
to proceed to the next part of the process:
using SilverFast to scan both the scanner and
printer targets.
Tip: For an accurate printer profile, make sure
you let the printer target dry for at least an
hour to reach its final, stable color. Some
paper-and-ink combinations take longer to
dry than others. If you wait until the next day,
you can be sure the target has reached its
final color.

Preparing the Targets

To build a printer profile, MonacoEZcolor needs a
single scanned image containing both the printer
profiling target and the scanner IT8 profiling
target. So whenever you build a printer profile,
you must attach the scanner IT8 target to the
printer target in the location marked on the
printer target.
If you use tape to attach the target, make sure that
it never touches the color patches, and avoid
touching the color patches when you handle
the target.
Once you've prepared the targets, you're ready to
scan them with SilverFast and use MonacoEZcolor
to build your profiles. Follow the instructions on
pages 4 to 9.
