Color proofing examples
The following examples illustrate methods for simulating the output from
another printing system, such as an offset press. Each of the proofing
examples uses an ICC profile to describe the destination color space. While
some examples use simulation profiles built in to the iR C2100/2100S,
others use ColorWise Pro Tools (see Chapter 4) to download custom ICC
output profiles to the iR C2100/2100S for use as simulation profiles.
Photoshop 5.x RGB-to-CMYK conversion using a custom ICC profile
This workflow is useful for prepress environments that have integrated ICC
color management and have profiles for the presses they use. In this example,
an image in Photoshop 5.x is converted from RGB to CMYK using
Photoshop's ICC color conversion features in the CMYK Setup option. (For
more information on CMYK Setup, see your Photoshop 5.x documentation.)
Using the Simulation settings available in ColorWise, the CMYK image is
printed to the iR C2100/2100S, and the output is made to appear as if it
were printed on an offset press.
