 – RGB 

SOURCE

 

DATA

The Graphic Pro color matching system can be used to simulate 
the color output of another printer.  

 

To simulate the output of another printer, you need to download 
at least 2 profiles to your printer using Profile Assistant:

>

RGB Source Profile

>

Simulation Target Profile

>

Printer Output Profile (optional)

Once the profile(s) have been downloaded, make the appropriate 
selections in the printer driver.

1. RGB data

4. Printed document

2. RGB source profile

5. Scanner, monitor, camera, etc.

3. Printer output profile

6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile.

NOTE
Be aware that if the device you are trying to simulate has 
different color capabilities from your own printer, exact color 
simulation will not be possible. For example, it may be difficult 
to reproduce the exact colors of an inkjet printer on a toner-
based printer.

Additionally, differences in the range of printable colors 
between different devices can make simulation using RGB 
source data inaccurate. To achieve best results when 
simulating the color output of other printers, you are strongly 
advised to use CMYK data as a source. See CMYK Ink 
Simulations on
