The" ICCICC (International Color Consortium) A group of hardware and software companies dedicated to the development of a specification that is operating system independent and provides the digital imaging, printing and related industries with a data format for defining the color and reproduction characteristics of devices and their related media Profile Setup" dialog allows you to specify the color profiles for your job. Specifying a profile for one job does not affect the profiles for any other job nor does it change the default profiles for your printer.

To access the ICC Profile Setup dialog:

1. Highlight a printer and click “Configure Printer” icon on the toolbar. This opens “Configure Printer” dialog.

2. In the [Quick Sets] tab, click [Edit] button. This opens “Edit Quick SetA group of settings that is applied to images to create jobs in an efficient manner.” dialog .

3. Click the [Change Profiles...] button. This opens the “ICC Profile Setup” dialog.

Choose from any of the following tabs. Depending on your image, certain options may not be available.

Profiles (Input Profiles)

An Input Profile corrects color shifts in the image file.

Rendering Intents

Rendering Intents controls how a profile is applied and how the colors are mapped from one gamut to another.

Output (Media Profiles)

An Output Profile corrects color shifts due to idiosyncrasies in the media, ink, and printer options.

DeviceLink+™

DeviceLink profiles directly encode a transform between two profiles, such as an input and output profile. This can result in more accurate profiles, and the ability to use different profiles for CMYKSystem for describing colors based on a combination of values for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black; the ink colors used in four-color process printing. In theory, 100% of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow create Black. In practice, the addition of Black ink is necessary to print a true Black. See also RGBSystem for describing colors based on a combination of values for Red, Green, and Blue—the additive primaries. RGB is the basic additive color model used for color video display. Mixing various percentages of red, green, and blue light can recreate most of the spectrum; combining 100% of all three creates white light. See CMYK, Additive Color.. and RGB images and elements, even from the same PDF file.

 

With DeviceLink+™ from ONYX, DeviceLink profiles are automatically created as needed, allowing you to make fast, effective output profile changes without printing and measuring new swatches.
