1 Introduction
Each device has a unique way to see or represent colours. This unique colour space
that each device can see, display or print is called the gamut of that device. Some
devices such as scanners have quite a large gamut, others such as printers have
smaller ones. When you want an image to have the same appearance on different
devices, the respective gamuts of these devices (e.g. scanner, printer) have to be
matched. This process is called gamut mapping.
An ICC proÞle is a small Þle which deÞnes the gamut of a device. A Color
Management System (CMS) is a software utility, which maps colors from one gamut
to another via a device-independent colorspace. Thus, if you have ICC proÞles for
the device your image comes from (eg. a scanner, a digital camera or a monitor)
and the device you want it to go to (eg. a printer or a different monitor) and a CMS,
then consistent gamut mapping from one device to another can be done easily and
consistently.
On www.ricoh-support.com customers can download ICC proÞles for Ricoh color

scanners and printers. This manual describes how to install ICC proÞles on Windows
and Macintosh operating systems, and how to use them with the major ofÞce and
DTP applications.

2 ICC ProÞles Provided by Ricoh Europe

On www.ricoh-support.com Ricoh Europe provodes generic ICC proÞles for color
printers and scanners for recommended copy paper types.
2.1 Naming Convention
2.1.1 Printers
The naming convention for the printer ICC proÞles is as follows:
CS <Product Name>.<Paper Type>.v01.<Extension>,
or if there is more than one driver for the printer:
CS <Product Name>.<Driver>.<Paper Type>.v01.<Extension>,
CS: The name of every printer proÞle starts with CS, which stands
for Color Savvy, the developer of the proÞling software package.
Product Name: Name of the color laser printer or color controller
Driver: Name of the printer driver installed on your system
PS Adobe PostScript driver

RPS RICOH-SCRIPT2 PostScript driver
IPDL-C Windows driver (Ricoh PDL)
RPCS Windows driver (Ricoh PDL)
PCL Windows driver
Paper Type: Usually Ricoh Europe recommends 4 paper types. The following
abbreviations refer to these paper types:
ACP AÞcio Color Paper (100g)

Nsd Neusiedler Color Copy paper (100g)
RdR Aussedat Rey Reyprint Color Laser (100g)
4CC Enso 4CC (100g)
v01: version number
Extension: icm (Windows) or ICC (Macintosh)
Usually these ICC proÞles will also work for similar paper types and different paper
weights.
6
2.1.2 Scanners
The naming convention for the scanner ICC proÞles is as follows:
CS <Product Name>.< Photo Paper Type>.v01.<Extension>
CS: The name of every printer proÞle starts with CS, which stands for
Color Savvy, the developer of the proÞling software package.
Product Name: Name of the color scanner or color contoller
Photo Paper Original photos for scanning are printed on different reßective paper
Type: types, mainly Agfa, Fuji and Kodak. For each of them there
exists an ICC proÞle:
Reßective Agfa
Reßective Fuji
Reßective Kodak
v01: version number
Extension: icm (Windows) or ICC (Macintosh)
When applying a scanner proÞle to your scanned image, make sure to select a proÞle
matching with the paper of the scanned original. Even if your original for scanning
isn‘t on photographic paper, choose one of these scanner proÞles, the scan will be
better than without proÞles.
2.2. ReadMe File

Each ICC proÞle on www.ricoh-support.com comes with a ReadMe Þle, which
contains the following important information.
2.2.1 Naming Convention
The ReadMe Þle explaines the naming of the proÞle, as described above.
2.2.2. Required Driver Settings
To achieve best results with a scanner or printer proÞle, it is necessary to use it with
the same relevant driver settings that were used to create the proÞle. These driver
settings are listed in the ReadMe Þle.
7
3 System Requirements and Installation
3.1 Microsoft Windows
3.1.1 System Requirements
For Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 an application is needed which can support
ICC proÞles. This is for example
Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later

Adobe PageMaker 6.5 or later
QuarkXPress 4.0 or later
CorelDRAW v.7.0 or later
Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP offer color management support on the operating
system level with ICM 2.0 (Image Color Matching).
3.1.2 Installing ICC ProÞles Windows 2000 / XP
ICC proÞles are located in directory
systemroot \System32\Color and

systemroot \System32\Spool\Drivers\Color
• Copy the downloaded ICC proÞles for Ricoh products into either directoy
named Color.
3.1.3 Installing ICC ProÞles Windows 95 / 98 / NT 4.0
• Open the Windows Explorer and select the Windows system directory. Check
if there is a sub-directory named Color. If not, choose File > New > Folder
and create a sub-directory named Color. Most applications will search for the
proÞles in this directory by default.
• Copy the downloaded ICC proÞles into the directory Color.
8
3.1.4 Activating ProÞles Windows ME / 2000 / XP
Under Windows ME and Windows 2000 uninstalled ICC proÞles are shown with
the proÞle symbol having a grey background. After being activated („installed“), the
background is highlighted.
• Right click on the relevant proÞle
• Choose Install ProÞle
9
3.2 Apple Macintosh
To use the system-level color management system ColorSync, an application is

needed which supports ColorSync.
For example,
Adobe Photoshop 4.0 plus the Apple ColorSync modules,

Adobe Photoshop 5.0,
Adobe PageMaker 6.5 or later,
QuarkXPress with the Helios ColorSync 2 XTension or
QuarkXPress 4.0
Adobe PSPrinter 8.6
3.2.2 Installing ICC ProÞles OS 9.x / OS X
You will Þnd all ICC proÞles under
Hard Disk\System Folder\ColorSync ProÞles
• Copy the downloaded ICC ProÞles to your ColorSync ProÞles folder
3.2.3 Installing ICC ProÞles OS 8.0
You will Þnd all ICC proÞles under
Hard Disk\System Folder\Preferences\ColorSync ProÞles
• Copy the downloaded ICC ProÞles to your ColorSync ProÞles folder
3.2.4 ColorSync
Since Mac OS 8 ColorSync is included in the software package and is by default

switched on. Check in the Control Panels and Extensions Manager (both in your
system folder) whether ColorSync is already installed on your system. If not, you can
download the current version of ColorSync system extension from the Apple website
under software updates at the following address:
http://www.apple.com/support
10
3.3 Color Management on the Color Controller
If your controller supports ICC-based color management on the controller (or

RIP), there are no special requirements for your client system, because the color
conversions will be performed on the controller. It is recommended to install the ICC
proÞles on your system as described in section 2.3 and 2.2 to provide them for
downloading to the controller.
3.3.2 Installing ICC proÞles
The user software for the controller includes a tool for downloading ICC proÞles to
the RIP. For Fiery Controllers this tool is named ProÞle Manager and is part of the
ColorWise Pro Tools.
• Launch ColorWise Pro Tools
• Open ProÞle Manager
• Choose the folder on your system which contains your ICC proÞles.
• Select the scanner proÞle and load it to the RGB source by clicking on the
green arrow.
• Select the printer proÞle and load it to Output in the same way.
(You can also load a simulation proÞle.)
The proÞle must be associated with one of the prediÞned names or set as default
before they can be used.
• Select the RGB Source, Simulation or Output proÞle and click on ProÞle
settings to set it as default or to deÞne the name which should appear in the
driver as the proÞle‘s name.

4 About Calibration
To get expected and consistent colors together with ICC proÞles it is necessary to
perform a calibration.
Note: Choose the same paper type for calibration as you want to use for your
prints.
4.1 Understanding Calibration

Calibration is the process of adjusting your output device (color copier or color laser
printer) to compensate for factors that affect the quality of a color print, e.g.
changes in environmental conditions etc. In addition, calibration is a process for
adjusting your output device to a certain color status. This status is deÞned by
gamma curves for the four colors yellow, magenta, cyan and black, the colors of
the toner. These gamma curves describe the color space or gamut of the output
device or, in other words, deÞne the range of colors that can be printed on it.
There are different methods of calibration for the different Ricoh products.
4.2 Calibration Methods

Auto Calibration Color Laser Printers usually calibrate themselves
during warm-up or after a certain amount of prints or changes of environmental
conditions. This process often is diplayed on the operation panel as ‚calibrating...‘.
The frequency of this auto-calibration can be set by the service technician.
AutoColorCalibration (ACC) Color Copiers usually have a calibration feature for

copy and print process, which can be performed by the user. It is a menu-driven
process run from the operation panel, which involves printing a calibration sheet,
placing it on the copier‘s platen glass and scanning it. By reading (scanning) it‘s
actual status from the calibration sheet and comparing it to the target the program
can then calculate and apply the necessary adjustments. Service technicians can set
parameters deÞning the calibration target.
Controller Calibration Depending on the type of controller connected to a

copier or printer, there are several types of more advanced, controller-panel-driven
or application-driven calibration methods. They always involve printing and reading a
calibration sheet and calculating the necessary adjustments by comparing the actual
to the target status. The calibration sheet is either read by the copier‘s platen glass
or a external densitometer. Application-based calibration give the user control over
measurement and target data.
Note: If more than one calibration method is executed, the order should be
from printing engine (Þrmware based) to client PC (software based). E.g. if a copier/
controller offers both ACC and controller calibration, then start with the copier-panel-
driven (Þrmware based) ACC calibration, and perform the (software based) controller
calibration afterwards.

5 CMS on Operating Sytem Level
5.1 Microsoft Windows

Note: The printer driver must support ICM in order to have ICC proÞles associtated
to a printer provide any functionality. If that is not the case, it is needless to
assign a proÞle to that printer, since it will not be used.
5.1.1 Windows 98 / ME
Windows 98 allows you to associate ICC proÞles to your monitor and printer.
5.1.1.1 Adding Monitor ProÞles
• Choose Display> Settings> Advanced>Color Management.

• Choose ICC proÞles for your monitor, printer or prooÞng device
• Select the appropriate Rendering Intent
5.1.2 Windows 2000 / XP
You must possess administrator´s rights in order to add a color proÞle to a device.
Else refer to section Windows 98 / ME.
5.2 Apple Macintosh
5.2.1 ColorSync 2.6
ColorSync is included in the software package since Mac OS 8.0. (If you have to
install it, see the chapter General Information for Macintosh). The usage of ColorSync
2.6 is described below. For more information refer to the documentation of ColorSync.
5.2.1.1 Choosing Default ProÞles
Make sure that ColorSync is switched on (see in the extension manager in the control
panel)
• Choose Control Panel > ColorSync
• For System ProÞle select the ICC proÞle for your monitor.
• For RGB Default select the proÞle for RGB images which have no embedded
proÞle or the original proÞle is unknown. A ColorSync aware application can
use this proÞle as source proÞle for color matching operations.
• For CMYK Default select the ICC proÞle for converting RGB to CMYK color
space, this is the proÞle for your CMYK printer, such as your Ricoh printer.
14
Note: You can also set your system proÞle in the color section of the monitor and
sound control panel. This has the advantage of updating your display’s
gamma and white point setting.
5.2.1.2 Selecting the CMM:
In Custom Install of the ColorSync Installer you can choose which CMMs will be
installed. The LinoColor CMM is always present, Kodak CMM and Agfa CMM are
additional. Depending on the application and on the proÞles you use, you can choose
the appropriate CMM. If you choose Automatic, ColorSync will use the CMM speciÞed
in the proÞle itself. Choosing Automatic will usually bring the best results.
5.2.2 ColorSync 3.0
5.2.2.1 Choosing Default ProÞles:
Make sure that ColorSync is switched on (see in the extension manager in the control
panel)
• Choose Control Panel > ColorSync > Click ProÞle tab
15
• Input: Select the ICC proÞle for your scanner, camera or other input device.
• Monitor: Set your monitor´s proÞle in the color section of the monitor control
panel. The ColorSync dialogue box is automatically updated.
• Output: Select the proÞle for your printer such as your Ricoh printer or any
other output device.
• Proofer: Select the ICC proÞle of the device you are prooÞng on.
5.2.2.2 Selecting the CMM:
• Choose Control Panel > ColorSync > Click CMMs tab
Depending on the application and the proÞles you are using, you can choose the
appropriate CMM. By choosing Automatic, ColorSync will use the CMM speciÞed in
the proÞle itself. Choosing Automatic will usually provide the best results.

6 Adobe Applications
6.1 Photoshop 3.5/4.0 for Windows and Macintosh
6.1.1 Plug-Ins
If you want to work with ICC ProÞles on Photoshop 3.5/4.0 you have to install a
plug-in, which enables you to apply the proÞles to an image, e.g. the Savvy Toolbox,
which contains export, import and Þlter modules.
It is downloadable for PC and Mac at:
http://www.colorsavvy.com
For Macintosh the ColorSync modules are also available:
ColorSync Import
ColorSync Export
ColorSync Filter
You can download the latest versions of these plug-ins at:
http://www.colorsync.apple.com
These plug-ins need to be copied to the Import/Export or the Filter folder in the Adobe
Photoshop directory on your hard disk before you launch Photoshop.
The general working methods of the different modules are described as follows:
Export module:
An export module for Adobe Photoshop allows you to save (export) your image to
hard disk as a RGB or CMYK TIFF image using ICC proÞles.
Import module:
An import module for Adobe Photoshop allows you to open (import) a RGB or CMYK
image (.tiff) using ICC proÞles.
Filter module:
A Þlter module allows you to convert an opened image from one color space to
another, e.g. from scanner RGB to monitor RGB. With the Þlter module it is not
possible to convert from RGB color space to CMYK color space or vice versa.
Scanner proÞles are in RGB color space and most of the printer proÞles are in CMYK
color space (except the IPDL-C proÞles), thus the Þlter module is mostly not useful
for applying ICC proÞles.
The workßow with the different modules is similar, thus two examples will be descri-
bed below.
17
6.1.2 SavvyToolboxExport (STBExport) Module for Windows
Before you start, make sure that the export module is installed correctly.
• Open the TIFF Þle you want to export.
• Choose File > Export. Select SavvyToolboxExport.
• For Source ProÞle, choose the appropriate scanner or monitor ICC proÞle
from the sub-directory to which you copied the proÞles during the installation
procedure. The default sub-directory in this dialogue is the color directory in
your system directory.
• For Destination ProÞle, choose the appropriate ICC proÞle for your paper
type.
• For Matching Method, choose Perceptual, for Quality choose Proof. See
Matching Styles in the glossary for more information on these settings.
• Click OK.
• Type a Þlename, and choose a location for the Þle.
This new Þle is converted to the printer’s color space and can be printed without
any further settings.
6.1.3 ColorSync Import Module on Macintosh
Make sure that ColorSync is switched on (check the extension manager in the control
panel) and that the Photoshop plug-in is installed correctly.
• Open Adobe Photoshop.
• Choose File > Import. Select TIFF with ColorSync ProÞle.
• Select the RGB TIFF Þle you want to open.
• For Source ProÞle, choose the appropriate scanner or monitor ICC proÞle.
• For Output ProÞle, choose the appropriate ICC proÞle for your paper type.
• For Matching Style, choose ProÞle Default; for Quality, choose ProÞle
Default. If you want to change these settings, see Matching Styles in the
glossary for more information. If the TIFF image you want to open has a
proÞle embedded, the proÞle name will appear in italics on the list of available
source proÞles.
18
• Click Import.
The RGB TIFF Þle will be opened with the chosen ICC proÞles. It can be printed
directly to your copier without any further settings.
6.1.4 Building Separation Tables Using ICC proÞles
With Adobe Photoshop 4.0, it has become possible to build separation tables based
on ICC proÞles. When you build separation tables in this way, Photoshop uses the
separation and printing ink information provided with the proÞles for the conversion
from RGB to CMYK.
To build color separation tables using ICC printer proÞles
• Open Photoshop 4.0.
• Choose File > Color Settings > Separation Tables.
• Click Build Tables Using Apple ColorSync (Macintosh) or Build Tables Using
ICC ProÞles (Windows).
Note: For the Macintosh, ColorSync must be installed in order to see this option.
For instructions on how to install ColorSync, see installation procedures on
the Macintosh.
• For ProÞle, choose the ICC proÞle for your paper type. For Render Intent,
choose Perceptual. For more information about the meaning of the other
options, see Rendering Intent in the glossary.
• Click Build.
For more detailed information on building and using separation tables, see the Adobe
Photoshop 4.0 User’s Guide.
19
6.2 Photoshop 5.0/5.5 for Windows and Macintosh

Adobe Photoshop allows you to work with ICC proÞles and lets you choose, which
CMM (Color Management Module) to use for converting images. There is e.g. the
Photoshop built-in CMM or the CMM speciÞed by your operating system, such
as Apple ColorSync or Microsoft ICM 2.0. It is recommended to use the built-in
CMM, especially when working across Adobe programs. Photoshop 5.0 supports
embedding proÞles.
Note: The proÞle which will be embedded is the one chosen in the RGB Setup
or CMYK Setup, and not the one chosen in the proÞle setup. When working
with the ProÞle to ProÞle command there is a risk of embedding the wrong
proÞles. It is easier and safer to work without embedded proÞles except
where necessary.
Depending on your requirements, Photoshop can handle the conversion of images in

several ways. This manual describes only some of these workßows.
6.2.2 Converting from RGB to CMYK
This conversion is recommended if you don´t want to edit the image on your monitor.
Here, the image is directly converted from RGB color space (scanner proÞle) to
CMYK color space.
Note: Ricoh printer proÞles are CMYK proÞles, except the ones for IPDL-C and
PCL drivers.
First, select the CMYK color model:
• Choose File > Color Settings > CMYK Setup...
• Select your Ricoh printer proÞle from the list
• Click OK
Then, change the color system from RGB to CMYK:
• Choose Image > Mode > CMYK Color
• Print the image
20
6.2.3 Converting Color Spaces
• Open the image Þle.
• Select File > Color Settings > ProÞle Setup. Deselect the Embed ProÞles
option.
• Select Image > Mode > ProÞle to ProÞle.
• For From, choose the appropriate ICC proÞle for your image (e.g.: if it was
scanned and the colors have not been adjusted since then, choose the
proÞle for your scanner).
• For To, choose the appropriate ICC proÞle for your printer.
• For Engine, choose a CMM.
• For Intent, choose a rendering intent. The proÞle‘s default one is perceptual.
See Rendering Intent in the glossary for more information on these settings.
• Do not activate Black Point Compensation when working with ICC proÞles.
• Click OK.
6.2.4 Printing the Converted Image
When printing the converted image choose CMYK Color for Space in the Photoshop
5.0 print window (do not choose the CMYK proÞle, otherwise the proÞle will be
applied a second time).
21
6.2.5 Converting Untagged Images when Opening
Note: This workßow is not useable with Þles created or scanned in Photoshop 5.0
• Select File > Color Settings > ProÞle Setup. Deactivate the Embed ProÞle
option.
• For Assumed ProÞles, select the appropriate ICC proÞle for your Image.
• For ProÞle Mismatch Handling, select Ask When Opening.
• Click OK.
• Select File > Color Settings > CMYK Setup.
• For CMYK Model, choose ICC.
• For ProÞle, choose the appropriate ICC proÞle for your printer.
• For Intent, choose a rendering intent. The proÞles default one is perceptual.
See Rendering Intent in the glossary for more information on these settings.
• Click OK.
22
• Open the image Þle. The ProÞle Mismatch window comes up and you will
Þnd the ICC proÞle you chose in the ProÞle Setup for Assumed ProÞles.
• For To, select CMYK.
• For Intent, choose a rendering intent.
• Click convert.
6.2.6 Converting from Scanner Color Space to Working Color Space
This workßow is recommended if you want to edit the image on the monitor, or if
your printer proÞle is a RGB proÞle such as for IPDL-C, RPCS and PCL drivers. The
image will be converted from the scanner color space to the working color space
of Photoshop, which can be chosen in the RGB Setup. The printer proÞle must be
chosen in the print menu and is applied when sending the image data to the printer.
• Select File > Color Settings > ProÞle Setup. Deactivate the embed proÞle
option.
• For Assumed ProÞles, select the appropriate ICC proÞle for your image.
• For ProÞle Mismatch Handling, select Ask When Opening.
• Click OK
• Select File > Color Settings > RGB Setup.
• For RGB, choose your working color space.
Note: sRGB is the standard RGB color space. This color space is endorsed by
a wide variety of hardware and software manufacturers. For a high end
user it might be useful to choose a color space with a wider gamut like
SMPTE-240M.
• For correct monitor display check Display Using Monitor Compensation.
• Open the image Þle. The ProÞle Mismatch window comes up and you will
Þnd the ICC proÞle you chose in the ProÞle Setup for Assumed ProÞles.
• For To, select RGB
23
• For Intent, choose a rendering intent. The proÞle‘s default one is perceptual.
See Rendering Intent in the glossary for more informationon these settings.
• Click Convert.
6.2.7 Converting to Printer Color Space
In the Photoshop 5.0 print window choose your printer proÞle as color space.
.............................
6.2.8 Handling Tagged Images
Scanner proÞles can’t be applied in the ProÞle Setup to images with embedded
proÞles. The best solution for applying is to work with the ProÞle to ProÞle command
as described under 6.2.3.
24
6.3 Photoshop 6.0 for Windows and Macintosh

Color Management has become a central aspect of the imaging business and
Adobe seems comitted to this issue. There has been an overall reconsideration and
improvement of color management features in Photoshop 6.0. This enables a better
understanding of how the concept of color management is implemented and how the
proper usage of these features is.
6.3.1 The Color Settings Dialogue
Here is where all of the color management relevant features are combined. It can
somewhat be simplyÞed if the Advanced Mode option is deselected.
• Choose Edit > Color Settings
6.3.1.1 Choosing a Setting
This dropdown menue offers a number of predeÞned color management settings.

If you apply changes to these predeÞned settings, the setting´s name is switched
to Custom. By hitting the Save Button, you can store your personal settings and
Photoshop adds your setting´s name to the dropdown list.
25
6.3.1.2 DeÞning Working Spaces
The proÞles assigned here are used to deÞne a color space for editing, for deÞning
proÞles to untagged documents and for deÞning proÞles for newly created docu-
ments.
RGB: Choose from a number of offered RGB proÞles or select Load RGB
to use one of the RGB proÞles installed on your computer.
CMYK: similar to above
Gray: similar to above
Spot: similar to above
Note: If option Advanced is not checked, only a selection of all proÞles is available.
Load and Save features are also not available.
Note: For Mac users an additional setting called ColorSync Workßow is offered.
This setting uses the proÞles chosen in the ColorSync control panel.
6.3.1.3 DeÞning Color Management Policies
Color Management Policies: Photoshop´s behavior on handling exeptions to the color

managed workßow within the three color modes is controlled in this section. Basically,
there are three alternatives with the following characteristics:
Note: All Ask When ... options must be checked.
OFF
• New and existing untagged documents remain untagged.

• When Photoshop is about to open a document with proÞles other than the
current working space proÞle, the dialogue Embedded ProÞle Mismatch is
displayed. Option Discard the Embedded ProÞle is preselected.
• Existing documents tagged with the the current working space proÞle remain
tagged.
Preserve Embedded ProÞles
• New documents become tagged with the current working space proÞle.
• When Photoshop is about to open a document with a proÞle other than the
displayed. Option Use the Embedded ProÞle is preselected.
• When Photoshop is about to open a document with no proÞle embedded, the
dialogue Missing ProÞle is displayed. Option Assign ProÞle is preselected.
Here you can choose your Ricoh scanner proÞle to assign it to the scanned
image.
Convert to Working Space
• When Photoshop is about to open a document with a proÞle other than
the current working space proÞle, the dialogue Embedded ProÞle Mismatch
is displayed. Option Convert Document´s Colors to the Working Space is
preselected
26
• When Photoshop is about to open a document with no proÞle embedded, the

Here, too, you can choose your Ricoh scanner proÞle to assign it to the
scanned image.
6.3.1.4 Exception handling
When Photoshop experiences an exception within a color managed workßow, one the
two following dialogues is displayed:
Usually you should keep the embedded proÞle. This assures that the proper colors
are used when the document is printed (on a printer also aware of color manage-
ment). But, if you are thinking of publishing the document on the internet, you
might Þrst want to choose sRGB as working space and then pick option Convert
document... in this dialogue.
When Photoshop is about to open a document with no proÞle embedded, the

dialogue Missing ProÞle is displayed. Option Assign ProÞle is preselected. Here you
can choose your Ricoh scanner proÞle to assign it to the scanned image.
27
6.3.2 Converting the Color Space
The command Convert to ProÞle which is to be used here, is similar to the ProÞle to
ProÞle command in Photoshop 5.x.
• Choose Image > Mode > Convert to ProÞle
Source Space: The current color space of the document.
Destination Space: The color space after converting.
Conversion Options: Lets you choose which converting engine and rendering intent
should be used.
Preview: Checking this option provides the possibility to see how different Conversion
Options affect the document´s appearance.
Note: The document must have an embedded proÞle in order to see changes in
appearance. Convert to ProÞle changes the RGB numeric values (as shown
in the Info palette), but the color´s appearance remains the same.
6.3.3 Assigning and Deleting ProÞles
You can embed proÞles to untagged documents and establish color management
in your entire workßow. For instance, attach a downloaded Ricoh proÞle (e. g. CS
E-170.Reß.Agfa.v01.ICC) to your scanned document.
• Choose Image > Mode > Assign ProÞle
Don´t Color Manage This Document: This option deletes a tagged proÞle from a
28
document.
Working <color model: working space>: This option tags the current working space
proÞle to the document.
ProÞle: Lets you choose which of the installed proÞles on your computer shall be
tagged to the document.
Note: The command Assign ProÞle does not change the RGB numeric values (as
shown in the Info palette), yet the interpretation of those numeric values. As a
result the color displayed changes.
6.3.4 Showing Document ProÞle Information
• Click on the triangle located in the status bar
• Choose Document ProÞle
The proÞle information of the selected document is shown in the status bar.
29
6.3.5 Printer Selection
• Choose File > Page Setup.
• Choose your printer.
• Click OK.
Note: Always use the Page Setup dialogue to select your printer. Only by doing
so, the ICC proÞles of printers are displayed in the Print dialogue and
the Print Options > Print dialogue.
Do not merely select your printer in the Print dialogue or the Print Options >
Print dialogue, or the printer proÞles might not be available for selection.
30
6.3.6 Choosing a Printer ProÞle
• Choose File > Print Options.
• Print Space: Choose your printer´s proÞle.
• Click OK.
Now you are all set for a color managed printing of your document.
• Choose File > Print.
Check your image´s source space and your printer´s print space.
• Click OK.
31
6.3.7 Importing and Pasting Images
• Choose File > Place...
In case the image to be imported has a different color proÞle than your working
space, the dialogue Paste ProÞle Mismatch is displayed.
Note: Option Ask when pasting... must be checked in the Color Settings dialogue.
If you have your Ricoh scanner proÞle tagged to the image, choose option Don´t
Convert....
Note: With a color management system properly working, there are two
incidents common which were unknown to most software users
in the pre-color management era:
1. Color can change without RGB change.

2. RGB can change without color change.
At Þrst, this may seem paradox and even more when making practical
experience. Just remember that RGB is NOT a color space, but only a way
of generating and encoding colors, a color system. Therefore an RGB value
has no Þxed color values associated with such as an L a b value for instance.
The Paste ProÞle Mismatch dialog refers to the above mentionted incidents:
Convert (Preserve color appearance) means that the look of a
color remains the same before and after converting, even though
the so called color numbers (= RGB pixel values) change.
Option Don´t Convert (Preserve color numbers) will keep the tagged color
proÞles of the images. That means that the RGB pixel values will be left
unchanged, with the effect that the look of a color will change. If you are
planning to print out the document on a Ricoh color managed printer and
want a close match to the scanned document, the different look of a color on
a monitor does not need to disturb you. The color management system will
use the image´s embedded proÞles and the proÞle of the printer to render the
color as close as possible to the original.
32
6.4 InDesign 1.0 for Windows and Macintosh

Adobe InDesign enables several workßows of color management, depending on the
user’s requirements. On the three levels : application, document, image you can
perform individual color management settings. Adobe InDesign supports embedded
proÞles. It’s also possible to apply proÞles to all bitmap images, such as TIFF, JPEG,
PSD. For more information refer to the InDesign user guide.
• Choose File > Color settings > Application Color Settings.
• For Engine select a Color Management System. For best results across
Adobe programs choose Adobe CMS.
• For Monitor: select your monitor proÞle. If a monitor proÞle is already

speciÞed for operating-system color management (such as ColorSync) that
proÞle is selected by default.
• For Composite: select the proÞle for your composite printer, e.g. your Ricoh
Color Copier or Laser Printer.
• For Separations: select the proÞle that describes your Þnal CMYK output
standard, e.g. Euroscale.
33
6.4.1 Enabling Color Management and Specifying Default Source ProÞles
By default, Color Management is off. Turning on Color Management enables CMS

options throughout the program. The settings in the Document Color Setting dialog
box are stored with the document and can be different for each document.
• Choose File > Color Settings > Document Color Settings.
• Check Enable Colour Management.
Source ProÞles: choose a proÞle for application when using the appropriate color

with no proÞle embedded.
Note: In image color settings you can select the source proÞle for each
imported image individually.
• For RGB: select your monitor proÞle.
• For CMYK: Choose Use Separation ProÞle. This uses the separations proÞle
you speciÞed in FILE> Color Settings > Application Color Setting dialog box,
which describes your Þnal output standard.
• For LAB : Choose the Adobe InDesign Default LAB ProÞle.
• Choose the rendering intent. You can choose a rendering intent for solid
colours, such as artwork, and for images. It is recommended to choose
Relative Colorimetric for Solid Colours and Perceptual for images. The
proÞles default one is perceptual. See Rendering Intent in the glossary for
more information on these settings.

perceptual.See Rendering Intent in the glossary for more information on
these settings.
• Check Use ICC proÞles with Tiff. This will apply ICC proÞles to Tiff images
being imported to your document.
..........................
• Select the source proÞle for the chosen image ( Scanner ProÞle).
• If the image has a proÞle embedded it is selected automatically.
• Select a rendering intent.

Since version 7.0 Adobe Illustrator provides color management using ICC proÞles. It
is possible to apply monitor proÞles, printer proÞles and proÞles to imported images.
Illustrator 7.0/8.0 only supports CMYK proÞles as printer proÞles, thus it isn’t possible
to use RGB proÞles as printer proÞles, such as proÞles for IPDL-C or PCL driver.
• Choose File > Color Settings.
37
• For Printer select the printer’s ICC proÞle. Note: Only CMYK proÞles can
be selected here, RGB proÞles, such as for IPDL-C or PCL driver are not

• For Intent select a rendering intent. The proÞle’s default one is Perceptual.
See Matching Styles in the glossary for more information on these settings.
• Check Use embedded ICC proÞles.
Note: ProÞles for imported images will only be applied if they are embedded in the
Þle and if Use embedded ICC proÞles is checked in the Color Settings.
38

The color management features in Illustrator 9.0 are very similar to Photoshop 6.0.
Most of the relevant dialogues even have the same appearance, which makes it fairly
easy to get started if you already know Photoshop. Also, with Version 9.0 it is possible
to assign RGB printer proÞles.
6.8.1 The Color Settings Dialogue
Here is where all of the color management relevant features are combined. It can
somewhat be simplyÞed if the Advanced Mode option is deselected.
• Choose Edit > Color Settings...
Settings: This dropdown menue offers a number of predeÞned color management

settings. If you apply changes to these predeÞned settings, the setting´s name is
switched to Custom. By hitting the Save Button, you can store your personal settings
and Illustrator adds your setting´s name to the dropdown list.
39
6.8.1.2 DeÞning a Working Space
Working Spaces: The proÞles assigned here are used to deÞne a color space for
editing, for deÞning proÞles to untagged documents and for deÞning proÞles for newly
created documents.
RGB: Choose from a number of offered RGB proÞles or select Load RGB
to use one of the RGB proÞles installed on your computer.
CMYK: similar to above
Note: If option Advanced is not checked, only a selection of all proÞles is available.
Load and Save features are also not available.
For Mac users an additional setting called Color Sync Workßow is offered.
This setting uses the proÞles chosen in the ColorSync control panel.
6.8.1.3 DeÞning Color Management Policies

1. Color can change without RGB change.

2. RGB can change without color change.
At Þrst, this may seem paradox and even more when making practical
experience. Just remember that RGB is NOT a color space, but only a way
of generating and encoding colors, a color system. Therefore an RGB value
has no Þxed color values associated with such as an L a b value for instance.
The Paste ProÞle Mismatch dialog refers to the above mentionted incidents:
Convert (Preserve color appearance) means that the look of a
color remains the same before and after converting, even though
the so called color numbers (= RGB pixel values) change.
Option Don´t Convert (Preserve color numbers) will keep the tagged color
proÞles of the images. That means that the RGB pixel values will be left
unchanged, with the effect that the look of a color will change. If you are
planning to print out the document on a Ricoh color managed printer and
want a close match to the scanned document, the different look of a color
on a monitor does not need to disturb you. The color management system
will use the image´s embedded proÞles and the proÞle of the printer to
render the color as close as possible to the original.Unlike Illustrator 7.0,
different CMM are selectable in Illustrator 8.0 and it supports embedded
44
proÞles. Applying a proÞle to an imported image is only possible, if the proÞle

is embedded. If you want to apply a proÞle, which is not embedded, to an
image, use Illustrator 7.0 or embed the proÞle in another application like
Adobe Photoshop 5.0.

Refer to Illustrator 9.0.
6.10 PageMaker 6.01 (or 6.5) for Macintosh

On Macintosh platforms, PageMaker 6.01 or later supports color management using
ICC proÞles directly. The advantage is that in a Color Management System (CMS)
setup menu the general settings for the source and the destination proÞle can be
made, but nevertheless the settings for the image source can be changed for every
single image within the document. The workßow for the user is very handy and will
therefore be described in this section brießy. For detailed information, see the Adobe
PageMaker 6.0.1 User’s Guide.
• Open the document in which you want to insert images.
• Select the exported TIFF Þle.
• Click OK.
• Select File > Print > Color > CMS Setup...
• For Color Management select On and press the button ColorSync.
• For ColorSync Settings, choose the appropriate proÞles for your copier,
paper type and monitor.
• Click OK.
• If you want to disable color management for an individual image within

the document, select that image.
Choose Element > Image > CMS Source ProÞle.
45
For This Item Uses select None.
• If you want to change the source proÞle for the selected image,
select ColorSync for This Item Uses and select the appropriate
proÞle as Source ProÞle.
For Rendering Intent, select Default.
For more details on the other options, see Rendering Intent in the glossary.
6.11 PageMaker 6.5 for Windows

With version 6.5 of Adobe PageMaker for Windows it has become possible to use ICC
proÞles for the source and output device directly. Now RGB Þles (TIFF, JPEG, GIF)
can be placed and printed directly without any additional steps. As opposed to the
previous version, in version 6.5 the general settings for the source and the destination
ICC proÞles are set in the Color Management System (CMS) setup menu. Besides,
the settings for the image source can be changed individually for every single image
within the document. The workßow for the user is very handy and will therefore be
described brießy in this section. For detailed information, see the Adobe PageMaker
6.5 User’s Guide.
• Open the document in which you want to insert the RGB image.
• Choose File > Place. Select the RGB Þle.
• Click OK.
• Select File > Preferences > General > CMS Setup...

6.14 Acrobat Distiller 4.0 for Windows and Macintosh

Acrobat Distiller converts PostScript Þles to PDF Þles. You can select fonts to embed
in the new PDF Þle, deÞne how to compress images in the Þle, choose a proÞle to
provide color information about images in the Þle, and customize the conversion in
other ways. You can use one of three predeÞned sets of job option to optimize PDF
Þles for different purposes, and you can customize and save your own sets of job
options. The job options include the ability to manage color in your documents and
even embed ICC proÞles to maintain accurate color in PDF Þles from one ICC- aware
application or output device to another.
6.14.1 Adding ProÞles
Place your Ricoh proÞles in the Acrobat folder, or the Windows/System/Color folder
(Windows) or the System/Preferences/ColorSync folder (Mac).
6.14.2 Setting Color Options
• Select Settings > Job Options...
• Click on the Color tab
Section Conversion:
Leave Colors unchanged: A useful option when your workßow is not open,
e. g. input and output is always made on the same devices and their behavior is well
known and considered.
Tag Everything For Color Mgmt (No Conversion): Choosing this option embeds ICC
proÞles for all page elements to the resulting PDF Þle. Original color information is
NOT altered.
48
Note: When selecting compability to Acrobat 3.0 under the General tab, this
option is changed from Tag... to Convert..., for Acrobat 3.0 can not handle
tagged Þles. However, bitmap images in device-dependent color models
(RGB, CMYK, Grayscale) are converted to device-independent color spaces
(CalRGB, CalGray, Lab).
Tag Only Images For Color Mgmt (No Conversion): Choosing this option embeds
ICC proÞles for all bitmap images to the resulting PDF Þle. Text elements and graphic
elements are color managed. Text elements are prevented from undergoing any
possible color shift. Original bitmap color information is NOT altered.
Note: When selecting compability to Acrobat 3.0 under the General tab, this option
is changed from Tag... to Convert..., for Acrobat 3.0 can not handle tagged
Þles.
Convert All Colors to sRGB: RGB and CMYK images are converted to the speciÞed
color space. Grayscale images are left unchanged. This option is recommended if
the PDF Þle will be published online or will be printed on low-end (RGB) printers.
changes to Convert All Colors to CalRGB.
Assumed ProÞles: Depending on the selection you made in the previous section,
some options might not be available. Choosing option None prevents all tagging and
converting.
Gray: You have two settings to choose from, None and Adobe Gray - 20% Dot
Gain; Default is the latter.
RGB: Select your Ricoh´s scanner proÞle from the list. Default is proÞle sRGB
IEC61966-2.1.
CMYK: Select your Ricoh´s printer proÞle from the list. Default is proÞle Adobe
CMYK.
Options: Consult your user´s manual for more information on this topic.
When done, click on the Save As... button and store your settings permanently.

6.15 Acrobat 5.0 for Windows and Macintosh
6.15.1 Adding ProÞles
Place your Ricoh proÞles in the Acrobat folder, or the Windows/System/Color folder
(Windows) or the System/Preferences/ColorSync folder (Mac).
6.15.2 The Color Management Setup Dialogue
• Choose Edit > Preferences > General
• Select Color Management on the left
Settings section:
Select the color settings Þle (CSF) which resembles your needs or create a new CSF.
These CSFs are a subset of those used in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
In Acrobat, you cannot save customized CSF Þles; if you wish to share a customized
CSF Þle, you must create the Þle in Photoshop or Illustrator.
Color Management Off: This setting uses passive color management techniques to
emulate the behavior of applications that do not support color management. Although
working space proÞles are considered when converting colors between color spaces,
documents are not tagged with proÞles. You should use this option for content that
will be output on video or for on-screen presentations.
Refer to the user´s manual for information about the other default settings.
Note: These settings apply to any color spaces in a PDF Þle that are not color
managed. They remain in effect until you change them again. Acrobat uses
the proÞles and CMS information from the CSF to convert only unmanaged
color in the document.
Note: Color Management Off is not the equivalent of no color management.
50
Mac: Setting ColorSync Workßow manages color using the ColorSync CMS
with the proÞles chosen in the ColorSync control panel. Use this option if
you want to use color management with a mix of Adobe and non-Adobe
applications. This color management conÞguration is not recognized by
Windows systems, or by versions of ColorSync earlier than 3.0.
6.15.3 Specifying Color ProÞles for Untagged Images
From the concept of a color managed workßow, each element must have
a color proÞle attached to it. That means images in RGB- or CMYK-
or Grayscale-color models must be connected with deÞned color spaces.
RGB: Select your Ricoh´s scanner proÞle from the dropdown list.
CMYK: Select your Ricoh´s printers proÞle from the dropdown list.
Grayscale: Select either different dot gain values or gamma values.
Refer to the user´s manual for more information on dot gain and gamma values.
6.15.4 Specifying the Color Management Engine
The engine does the converting between different color spaces using the color
proÞles. It also handles the chosen rendering intent.
Adobe Color Engine (ACE): This is the default setting.
(Windows) Microsoft ICM: Microsoft´s Image Color Management
(Mac) Apple ColorSync / Apple CMM / Heidelberg CMM
Any third party color management engines you have installed are also displayed.
6.15.5 Importing Tagged PDF Documents
The color management information embedded in a PDF Þle always takes precedence
over the CSF. In Acrobat, the information in the CSF is used only to determine the
color management engine and proÞles used to display or print unmanaged (device-
dependent) colors in a document. The information in the CSF may also affect whether
PostScript printing uses the CMYK working space as the default when the policy
for CMYK is not “off.”
51
6.15.6 Printing Tagged PDF Documents
The printing function supports a number of options that control color management.
Note however, the Advanced Print Settings dialogue box is only available for
PostScript printers.
• Choose File > Print... > Click the „Advanced...“ button
High End Features section -
Print ICC colors as Device colors: Ignores ICC proÞles embedded in the PDF Þle
during printing. As a result, colormetrically undeÞned colors are used such as in the
device´s RGB, CMYK or Grayscale color models.
Apply Working Color Spaces: The application converts color data using the working
space settings made under Edit > Preferences > General > Color Management.
Color ProÞle:
For printer-based color management select Printer/PostScript color management.
This forces color to be managed on the printer´s RIP.
For host-based color management choose one of the ICC proÞles offered
for your printer. Select your Ricoh´s printer proÞle from the list.
Option Same as Source (No Color Management) does not perform any color
management neither on the host nor on the printer.
Note: Only when using a PostScript printer you have the option of selecting
printer-based color management or host-based color management, else
color management is always host-based.
52
6.16 Acrobat Distiller 5.0 for Windows and Macintosh

Distiller gathers controls for color management in a single Color Settings dialog box.
When you use Distiller to convert a PostScript Þle to PDF, you can choose to use the
color management information contained in the PostScript Þle or you can choose to
change aspects of that color management information. If you choose to modify any
color management information in the PostScript Þle, you can do so through the color
settings in the job options Þle.

and the Helios XTension
Color management with QuarkXPress 3.32 is possible with the ColorSync XTension
2.0 from Helios. This XTension allows to apply ICC proÞles to RGB-, Lab-, and
CMYK-TIFF images placed in a QuarkXPress document for both printing and
prooÞng. Individual settings for every single image can be made. In addition, the
ColorSync XTension supports the deÞnition of Lab colors and an ICC proÞle based
output of these colors.
The basic workßow will be described here. For more information refer to the very
good and extensive manual coming with the Helios XTension.
• Open QuarkXPress and your document with included TIFF images.
• Choose Utilities > ColorSync. A dialogue window appears to deÞne the

general printing conditions for the whole document and to apply a speciÞc
source ICC proÞle for every TIFF image in your document.
• Enable color management using the ColorSync 2 Matching Setup. For

viewing the result on the monitor select For Monitor and Printer.
7.2.1 Printer Settings
• For Printer ProÞle select the appropriate printer ICC proÞle for your paper
type and print mode.

• The option CMYK Colors ProÞle allows the choice between SWOP,
Euroscale and None and deÞnes how CMYK colors that have been deÞned
within XPress should be interpreted for printing.
7.2.2 Applying ProÞles to Images
For your TIFF images apply the correct source ICC proÞle using the Image proÞle...
button: Select the TIFF image from the list and then select an image proÞle.
7.2.3 Proof Settings
• For Printer ProÞle select the appropriate ICC proÞle for the Þnal printing
process like an Euroscale Offset proÞle.
• For Proofer ProÞle select the appropriate printer ICC proÞle for your paper
type and print mode, because in this case your copier is the prooÞng device.
For deÞning Lab-colors choose Utilities > Lab Colors... This option is part of the
Helios XTension. It will print Lab-colors using the printer and proofer ICC proÞles
deÞned in the ColorSync2... utility.

10 Kodak Imaging for Windows

Imaging for Windows, which comes with the Windows operating system, is also
capable of using color management features provided by the operating system.
Color management is implemented by Microsoft Image Color Matching (ICM), and

assures consistent display and printing of color image documents, regardless of the
output device you use. However, for color management to function, the input device,
the image Þle, and the output device must support it. The image document Þle types
that support ICM are BMP, versions 4 and 5, and TIFF, version 7.
Options for controlling color matching on your computer include: ProÞles for the active
monitor and printer, different rendering intents and prooÞng.
Color matching options apply to the current image document only.
Enabling color management
• Choose > File > Color Management
Image, graphic or text generated by: The information provided here tells you about
the image´s embedded color information. If a ICC proÞle is attached to the image,
Embedded ProÞle is displayed. If the image Þle contains no color proÞle, sRGB Color
Space appears.
Enable Color Management: Check this box to use default color management proÞles
for displaying or printing color image documents.
Basic Color Management: Select this option for a color managed workßow to ensure
a high Þdelty of scanned color documents to printouts.
ProoÞng: When editing colors it is important to see how they would appear on the
output device. By clicking this option you can choose an output condition represented
by an ICC proÞle. The rendering intent in the upper list box is automatically set to
Absolute Colorimetric (also labeled as Match Intent). The lower rendering intent list
box is apparently without function (on Windows ME).
Monitor ProÞle: The available ICC proÞles are the ones found under Control Panel >
Display > Settings > Advanced > Color Management.
69
Printer ProÞle: The available ICC proÞles are the ones found under Control Panel >
Printers > Right click on your printer > Properties > Color Management
Rendering Intent: As usual, choose between four intents offered.
Apply: Click this button to see changes in the image´s appearance when prooÞng.
Note: Color matching options apply to the current image document only.

Using the ColorSync system proÞle as a source proÞle
The PSPrinter 8.5/8.6 color management feature is made for printing monitor RGB
color data. Therefore, this function always uses the ColorSync System ProÞle as a
source proÞle. The ColorSync System ProÞle can be selected from the Control Panel.
To get the best result, RGB data from scanners should be converted to monitor
RGB before importing it into an OfÞce application. This conversion can be done, for
example, with the ColorSync Filter module for Photoshop, as described above.
• Select the output proÞle in the driver.
The PSPrinter 8.5/8.6 Print Options dialogue offers two color management settings:
ColorSync Color Matching: This function performs a ColorSync based transformation

from RGB data to CMYK data using the ColorSync System ProÞle for input and the
selected printer ICC proÞle for output.
Postscript Color Matching: This function performs a Postscript-based transformation

from RGB data to CMYK data. It combines the ColorSync System ProÞle for
input and the selected printer ICC proÞle to a Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD).
A CRD is a Postscript Þle deÞning the color conversion in the Postscript interpreter.
The CRD is downloaded to the controller together with the print job, the Postscript
interpreter uses this CRD for converting RGB to CMYK for this particular print job.
Note: If Printer’s Default is selected as Printer ProÞle, the controller’s resident

CRDs are used. Select a Rendering Style to specify the CRD you need. The
default CRD is photographic and should be used with images. This can be a
useful setting for ofÞce applications.

12 Microsoft Word / Powerpoint for Windows and

Macintosh
Although Word as well as PowerPoint offer a large variety of import Þlters for graphics
and images, the main difference between Microsoft OfÞce software and applications
such as Adobe PageMaker or QuarkXPress is that Microsoft OfÞce 95 applications
only allow import of RGB data. Word 95 as well as PowerPoint 95 only process RGB
data, in OfÞce 97 you can place CMYK data, but the color system will be changed to
RGB. This “principle” is valid for Windows OS as well as Macintosh OS.
The OfÞce 2000 product family and its predecessors do not support color
management at this time (December 2001). In the future however, Microsoft might
(hopefully) implement the use of Windows´ Image Color Management (ICM) into the
OfÞce product family.
13 Color Management on the RIP

There are several workßows to perform color management on the controller. The
easiest way will be described below, as an example of color management on the
E-800A controller. For more information see the controller´s user manual.
13.1 Avoiding Unwanted Color Interference

It is recommended to turn off the application´s color management options and
also Postscript color management options in the driver. On how to turn off color
management in the applications, also see the sections above.
• To turn off Adobe Illustrator´s color management, remove color conversion

and color conversion utilities from folder Plug-ins > Extensions.
• To turn off Macromedia FreeHand´s color management, choose None from

menu Colors > Color Management > Type.
• To avoid color conversion within Photoshop:
1. Don´t apply any proÞles to when importing or opening RGB images.
2. When printing select RGB Color as space and deselect Postscript Color
Management. If your RGB image contains embedded proÞles, they will be
applied if you choose None as RGB source proÞle in the printer driver.
Otherwise the selected RGB source proÞle will override the embedded
proÞle, unless it is an EPS Þle.
It is recommended that, if possible, RGB images are converted to EPS format, before
importing them into an ofÞce-, layout- or illustration-application. This will prevent the
application from perfoming any unwanted color conversion on the images.
When converting to the EPS format, choose option Binary Encoding. This reduces
Þle size more than ASCII encoding, but occasionally causes printing problems with
some system conÞgurations. If you experience problems while printing documents
with these EPS Þles, convert the RGB image again and try ASCII encoding.
72
13.2 Setting Up Printer Properties

Because the layout of the printer driver interface varies according to the operating
system being used, only a general explanation can be given here.
• Choose print and select your printer.
• Select properties or printer speciÞc options (Macintosh)
• Look for Print Features or Expert Color Settings where RGB Source ProÞle,
Rendering Style, RGB Separation, CMYK Simulation ProÞle, Simulation
Method, Output ProÞle can be found.
• For RGB Source ProÞle, choose the proÞle which matches the colorspace
of your RGB images (e.g. sRGB or the scanner proÞle) If the RGB images
contain embedded proÞles which you wish to keep, set the RGB Source
ProÞle to None. Choosing any other option would cause the embedded
proÞles not to be applied.
Note: ProÞles embedded in EPS Þles will always be applied no matter what RGB
source proÞle is chosen.
• For Rendering Style choose a rendering style.
• For RGB Separation choose Simulation if you want the copier to simulate
another printing device, e.g. a printing press, or choose Output if you want to
print without a CMYK simulation.
• For CMYK Simulation ProÞle choose a Simulation ProÞle or choose None if

you don´t want the copier to simulate another printing device.
• For CMYK Simulation Method choose Full. It only has an effect if you have
chosen a simulation proÞle.
• For Output ProÞle choose the name you have given to your printer proÞle
when you downloaded it to the controller (see chapter 2).
Note: If your document contains several RGB images with different source proÞles
and different rendering styles, separate them to CMYK data in a pixel-editing
application like Photoshop by using its color management system. Save it as
EPS format and import the EPS Þles into your document.

14 Glossary
Absolute colorimetric
This rendering intent allows the exact reproduction of colors. Colors which cannot be
reproduced within the output device‘s gamut are reproduced as closely as possible.
This intent is mostly used for simulation of paper white, and for company logos where
a speciÞc color must be reproduced as accurately as possible.
Calibration
Calibration is the process of adjusting a color device to a known color status. For
output devices such as printers or copiers, this known status is deÞned by target
density curves (gamma curves) for the four basic colors cyan, magenta, yellow
and black. Calibration compares the actual status to the target status and applies a
correction to set the device back to the target condition. The method of calibration is
different among various devices.
CMM
See Color Matching Method.
CMS
See Color Management System.
CMYK
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, the colors used by output devices such as
printers. Cyan, magenta, and yellow represent the primary colors of the subtractive
color model, which is based on the absoption of light. When light reaches transparent
ink or toner on paper, a certain amount of light is absorbed and the reßected part is
preserved as color. 0% of cyan, magenta and yellow on paper produces white (paper
white). And, in theory, mixing 100% of the primary colors on paper produces black (all
light is absobed), however, in practice it doesn‘t due to impurities of inks or toners.
Therefore black is added in printing process.
Color Management System (CMS)
A software that allows applications to convert colors from one color space to another.
Examples; Apple ColorSync, Microsoft ICM 2.0.
Color Matching Method (CMM)
This is the engine of a color management system that does the color conversion
calculations from one color space to another using ICC proÞles. Operating systems
and applications sometimes have built-in or default CMMs, but allow the user to
select other CMMs. Examples; Heidelberg CMM, Apple CMM.
Color Model
A color model is a color measurement scale or system to describe colors in a

numerical way. Examples; RGB, CMYK.
Color Space
A color space is a three-dimensional geometric representation of the colors that can
74
be seen or generated by a certain color model.
Densitometer
This is a density reading device that is used in calibration processes. Usually a CMYK
patch page representing the actual status of a printer is printed and then read by a
densitometer. The result is fed back to the system or software, which compares it to
the target densities (or gamma curve) and calculates and applies a correction.
Gamut
The gamut of a color device is the total range of colors that it can produce (read,
display or print). RGB devices generally have larger gamuts than CMYK devices, but
the size of a CMYK gamut is also very much dependent on the media used. A color
is called out-of-gamut, if it cannot be produced within a device‘s gamut. Certain colors
of a photo scanned on a RGB scanner for example may be out-of-gamut of a printer.
It is task of a color management system to translate colors from one gamut to another
in a way that compensates for such differences in gamut.
Gamut Mapping
This is the process of converting colors from one gamut into another. As gamuts
usually are different in size and shape, there are several methods to do such
a conversion, which emphasise the accuracy of a single color or the perception
of the whole range of colors. In a color management system these methods are
called rendering intents and are optimised for different type of data such as images,
graphics or logos.
ICC ProÞle
An ICC proÞle describes the gamut of a particular color device or color space in
relation to a device independent color space like L*a*b* in a standard Þle format
developed by the ICC. It is used by a color management system in order to convert
colors from one color space to another.
International Color Consortium (ICC)
A group established by eight industry vendors in order to develop an open, vendor-

neutral, cross-platform color management system architecture. The ICC for example
introduced the standard Þle format for proÞles used in color management sytsems.
For more information, see www.color.org.
L*a*b*
A device-independent color model is based on the model proposed by the

Commission Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) in 1931 as an international standard
for color measurement. In 1976, this model was reÞned and named CIE L*a*b. ICC
proÞles describe the device‘s gamut in relation to the device-independent L*a*b* color
space, which allows conversions from any source color space to any destination color
space via the L*a*b* color space.
Perceptual
The perceptual rendering intent preserves the impression of an image and gives the
most pleasing reproduction of an image within the capabilities of the output device‘s
gamut. Single colors may not be reproduced exactly in order to keep gradations and
the relation between colors.
75
ProÞle
A proÞle describes the gamut of a color device. It is used by a color management

sytsem to convert colors from one device color space to another. If it follows the
ICC standard, it is referred to as ICC proÞle. To specify the purpose of a proÞle in
a color convertion, combined terms are used, such as device proÞle, source proÞle,
destination proÞle, etc.
ProoÞng
ProoÞng or simulation means the representation of one printing process‘ gamut

(generally an offset print gamut) on another output device like a color copier, printer
or proofer. Simulation or prooÞng can be realised with color management and ICC
proÞles by applying 2 proÞles in a row. First the original data is converted to the
Þnal print process gamut, e.g. by an Euroscale ICC proÞle, and then it is converted
colorimetrically to the proofer‘s gamut. Soft prooÞng means the simulation of an offset
printing process‘ gamut on a monitor.
Relative colorimetric
This rendering intent does exactly the same as absolute colorimetric, but it
additionally compares the white points of the source and destination gamuts and
shifts the colors accordingly.
Rendering Intents
These are methods used by the CMM to map colors from one device‘s gamut
to another. The four methods are perceptual, saturation, relative colormetric and
absolute colorimetric and correspond to the type of document data that is converted,
such as images or graphics.
RGB
Red, green and blue, representing the primary colors of the additive color model,
which is based on light. Adding 100% of each primary color produces white, while
black is the absense of light (0% of red, green and blue). RGB is the color model used
by input devices and monitors.
Saturation
This rendering intent preserves the vividness of colors and preserves saturation
rather than hue. It is commonly used for business graphics, where bright, saturated
colors are more important than relation between colors.
Simulation
See ProoÞng.
sRGB
sRGB is one of the standard RGB color spaces, which for example is used by some
Microsoft applications and Ricoh‘s RPCS driver as a standard and which can be
selected in many applications as RGB color space.
