Input and output profiles are used to link the CMYK or RGB input colour spaces to the colour space of the printer. The input profile is used to convert the source colour space to the universal Profile Connection Space (PCS) colour space.

You cannot create input profiles in the Settings Editor.

For most print environments the factory defined input profiles are sufficient but, if required, you can import new input profiles.

Go to the input profiles

1. Open the Settings Editor and go to: [Colour]  → [Input profiles] .
