CMYK ink simulations – CMYK source 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 243, Mac OS 9 page 245,
Mac OS X page 247).
