Simulating another printer – RGB source data
The Graphic Pro color matching system can be used to
simulate the color output of another printer.
graphicpro-RGBmatch.
1. RGB data
2. Printed document
3. RGB source profile
4. Scanner, monitor, camera, etc.
5. Printer output profile
6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile.
Important! Be aware that if the device you are trying to
simulate has different color capabilities from your own printer,
exact color simulation will not be possible. For example, it may
be difficult to reproduce the exact colors of an inkjet printer on
a toner-based printer.
Additionally, differences in the range of printable colors
between different devices can make simulation using RGB
source data inaccurate. To achieve best results when simulating
the color output of other printers, you are strongly advised to
use CMYK data as a source. See “CMYK ink simulations – CMYK
source data” on page 231.
To simulate the output of another printer, you need to
download at least 2 profiles to your printer using Profile
Assistant:
• RGB Source Profile
• Simulation Target Profile
• Printer Output Profile (optional)
Once the profile(s) have been downloaded, make the
appropriate selections in the printer driver. These are
described in the next section (Windows page 228, Mac OS 9
page 229, Mac OS X page 230).
