ICC Profile Settings

[sRGB]*, [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], [Gamma 2.4], [Download Profile]

This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (colour data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) colour model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing colour images or graphics made by the RGB colour model.

Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

This setting specifies the industry standard definition for generic Windows computer monitors. If you are using an sRGB compatible monitor, you can print out colours close to how they appear on your monitor.

These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout.

You can store up to 100 profiles.

[JapanColor(Canon]*, [US Web Ctd(Canon], [Euro Standard], [Download Profile]

This setting allows you to specify the simulation target to print the CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK) data. The machine converts CMYK data into a device dependent CMYK colour model based on the simulation target selected in the CMYK Simulation Profile.

This setting uses the JapanColor profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Japan.

This setting uses the U.S. Web Coated profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in the USA.

This setting uses the Euro Standard profile. This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Europe.

You can store up to 100 profiles.

Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

This setting produces the best results for photographic or bitmapped images.

This setting is best suited for printing illustrations and diagrams used in business presentations.

This setting provides a close match to the RGB colour value of the machine's printing range.
