DATA
The ICC-based color matching system can be used to simulate the
output on commercial printing presses.
You can select from the ink types most commonly used in different
regions of the world:
> Euroscale – Europe
> SWOP – North America
> Toyo – Japan
To print CMYK Ink Simulations, you must use PostScript printer
driver supplied.
Although it is possible to perform CMYK ink simulations using the
Office color options in the printer driver, we recommend that you use
the Graphic Pro color matching system to perform CMYK ink
simulations, as this provides additional controls, such as using the
“Preserve Black” feature, or specifying an alternative printer output
profile.
Instructions on how to apply Ink Simulations appear in the next
section (Windows page 56, Mac OS 9 page 57, Mac OS X page 59).
