Before you print with the iColor
®

1.
If printing photographic type images requiring accurate colors from Photoshop, CorelDraw and other
software capable of utilizing standard ICC profiles, use the provided ICC profile. For photographs
(especially for skintones) which require more accurate color representation, UniNet suggests the use of
the provided ICC profile. Pressed images will have more accurate colors, but will not be as vibrant.
Color Handling should be set to allow your specific software package to handle colors. For example, in
Photoshop set to ‘Photoshop Manages Color’. Make sure you set the print driver to ‘No Color
Matching’ under ‘Color Management’ and ‘High Quality’ under ‘Job Options’. Be sure to mirror print
and select the proper ICC profile before printing (if desired).
2.
For vector graphics or ‘cartoon-like’ images, where color matching isn’t as important as vibrancy, do
not use the ICC profile. This allows the prints to press as vividly as possible. Be sure to always mirror
your image before you print.
3.
When printing black as part of your image, be sure to set the color to 100% K in your design software.
Printing composite blacks is not recommended and will not produce rich blacks. Note that some file
formats, such as PNG, cannot reproduce true black because they are saved as RGB images. If not
printing directly from your favorite graphics program, choose a file format such as PDF or TIFF to
preserve a CMYK file format for best results.
How to mirror print:
1.
Click ‘Print’ from the graphics program of your choosing. Click ‘Printer Properties’. Select the
‘Paper/Quality’ tab and click ‘Advanced’.
