ICC Profile Settings

RGB Source Profile


[sRGB]*, [Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], [Gamma 2.4], [None], [Download Profile]

This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This setting is applied when printing a document containing color images or graphics made by the RGB color model.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

[sRGB]

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

[Gamma 1.5], [Gamma 1.8], and [Gamma 2.4]

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

[None]

When this setting is selected, device dependent RGB data is converted into CMYK without applying the RGB profile.

[Download Profile]

You can store up to 100 profiles.

CMYK Simulation Profile


[JapanColor(Canon], [US Web Ctd(Canon], [Euro Standard], [None]*, [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 color model based on the simulation target selected in the CMYK Simulation Profile.

[JapanColor(Canon]

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

[US Web Ctd(Canon]

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

[Euro Standard]

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

[None]

When this setting is selected, device dependent CMYK data is printed as is without applying the CMYK profile.

[Download Profile]

You can store up to 100 profiles.

Use Grayscale Profile


[On], [Off]*

This setting allows you to define how device dependent gray data is processed.

[On]

Device dependent gray data is converted into CMYK data using the 'Grayscale Profile' of the machine. The data may be reproduced using only the black (K) toner, depending upon 'Output Profile'.

[Off]

Device dependent gray data is reproduced using black (K) toner only.

Output Profile


[Normal], [Photo]*, [TR Normal], [TR Photo], [Download Profile]

This setting allows you to define the profile that is appropriate for the data you are going to print. It is applied to all data in the print job, so make sure the selected profile is right for your job.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
Under most circumstances, it is preferable to select [Normal] for text and graphics data, and [Photo] for image data.

[Normal]

This setting prints the colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor.

[Photo]

This setting prints colors close to photographic prints.

[TR Normal]

This setting prints the colors closely matching the ones displayed on your monitor, and also reduces toner bleeding of text and fine lines.

[TR Photo]

This setting prints colors close to photographic prints, and also reduces toner bleeding of text and fine lines.

[Download Profile]

This setting uses a custom profile that you have downloaded from the host computer to this machine using NetSpot Resource Downloader. You can store up to 100 profiles.

Matching Method


[Perceptual]*, [Saturation], [Colorimetric]

This setting allows you to specify a method of printing when the "RGB Source Profile" is applied. This machine includes a color management system that provides the following color rendering styles.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

[Perceptual]

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

[Saturation]

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

[Colorimetric]

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

IMPORTANT
You may not be able to use all the profiles that are available. If color data is printed in gray using a downloaded profile, check the downloaded profile for compatibility.
If the machine receives data with a device independent (CIE based) color space definition, it is color processed with the specified settings. Therefore 'CMYK Simulation Profile' is not applied by the machine.
NOTE
You can also download the profile from iW Management Console.
If a profile with the name of "None" is downloaded to the machine, the profile is not applied and the [None] setting on the menu is applied.
The Output Profile is only applied if "CMS(Matching)/Gamma" is set to [CMS].
The Matching Method is not available if "Resolution" is set to [1200 dpi].
