  • Page 38: Graphic Pro

    RAPHIC PRO This section describes the color matching options available for Graphic Pro. The Graphic Pro color matching system is based around ICC profiles. These profiles are downloaded to the printer using the Profile Assistant utility and then selected in the printer driver. When a job is sent to the printer, the ICC profiles are applied to the print job on the printer.
  • Page 39 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. YPES OF PROFILE SUPPORTED There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro color matching system: PROFILE DESCRIPTION...
