Define an input profile

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

   [Input profiles] 
   [Input profiles] 

View the status of the input profiles

• [In use]: the input profile is used in a color preset or transaction setup.

• [Factory-defined]: the input profile is factory defined.
