Profiles

Profiles are used to reproduce color from one device’s color space
to another device's color space in a consistent manner. They
provide the necessary information to convert color data between
device

‑dependent color spaces and device‑independent color

spaces. You use profiles to color-manage your system.

A source profile defines the RGB or CMYK color space of the
object’s source, providing information such as the white point,
gamma, and type of phosphors used. A destination profile defines
the gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The IC-312m
print controller uses a device

‑independent color space to translate

between the source color space and the black color space of the
output device, which you cannot change.

Managing profiles

The Profile Manager enables you to import and manage source
profiles on the IC-312m print controller.
