5.2 Install Your Own ICC Profile

STEP 1 of 8

When you are using the created media, you can install your own ICC profile. Click the colourful square button on the
right side of your media's name.

NOTE:

If the media is created under white toner category, you don't have the color management option.

TIP:

If you have a three-column media and you want to compare three different color managements on the same

sheet, you can do like this. Choose one ICC profile for your label, load it into the software. Choose another ICC
profile, load the same image into the software. Repeat this one more time, and click print, then you will have three
columns of the same label but with different ICC profiles.

STEP 2 of 8

This dialogue allows you to setup your own color information. Make sure you checked

Apply ICC Profile with RIP

Setup Options.
