GCR Tables A Black Generation (GCR) profile controls how black is generated in the image by adjusting the balance of process and primary black, as well as the total ink limit. A Black Generation (GCR) table functions the same as a Black Generation (GCR) Profile. The only difference is that a Black Generation table is created using the [Custom] setting in the GCR drop-down menu, and a Black Generation profile is created in Media Manager. Select from the available GCR options for each data type: No GCR Selected - This option applies no GCR settings to the data type. Default GCR - This option applies the default GCR settings. Custom - This option allows you to edit the GCR settings. When using this option, click [Edit] to open the "Edit GCR" dialog (Figure 2). See Edit GCR for more information. Gray Balance Profiles Gray Balance adjusts the levels of C, M, or Y in order to get a balanced gray. Because ICC profiles do this automatically, only use this if you are not using an ICC profile. Select from the available Gray Balance options for each data type: No Gray Balance Selected - This option applies no Gray Balance settings to the data type. Default Gray Balance - This option applies the default Gray Balance settings.	Figure 1 Figure 2
