Tell me about ICC profiles

 

ICC profile management

The Settings > ICC Profiles function lets you

  • display the list of the ICC profiles installed on the print server,
  • install new ICC profiles,
  • define the default profile,
  • or delete already installed profiles.

When you select this function, a list of all ICC profiles installed on this computer appears. You must be logged in as Administrator to make any changes.

By clicking the button in front of a profile name, you are presented detailed information on the respective profile.

You are now able to

  • delete the profile by clicking the trashcan icon
  • or select the profile as default by activating the exclamation mark. The previous default profile is automatically deactivated.

About default profiles

The default profile is used as the Color Management preference for the jobs. You are still able to individually alter this default for any job and image type. You should use the profile applied most frequently for color space transformation as default profile.

The default profiles currently set are marked in the list:

 

Note: The current default profile is protected from deletion. Before deleting a default profile you have to set up a new one.

You can create your own ICC profiles that match your individual needs with suitable programs such as Printopen® and a spectrophotometer. Use the Add new profile function to install these new profiles. When you click Browse, a normal Browse for File dialog appears, allowing you to select the profile you want to add. You should then specify the profile type (color space, source or target profile). The profile is added to the list when you click OK.
