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.

COLOR
MATCHING
?
The Graphic Pro color matching system is both powerful and
flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro color
matching system can be used:
Matching printer color to an RGB input device
By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or monitor,
the printer's color can be matched to the input device.
Printer simulation
Your printer can be used to simulate the color output of another
printer, even when printing RGB documents. For best results, use
CMYK documents when simulating the color output of other
printers.
CMYK ink simulation
Your printer can be used to simulate the color output of a
commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color
inks).
NOTE
>
Some features of Graphic Pro color matching can only be
used if your printer is fitted with a hard disk. The printer
hard disk is required if you wish to download and use
your own ICC profiles to the printer.
>
If your printer does not have a hard disk fitted, you will
only be able to select the factory default profiles that are
built-in to the printer.
