In the Color Management tab you can select:
●Source Space: Document (automatically assigned for you).

In the Color tab (Windows) or Color Options panel (Mac OS), you have the following Color
Management options. Select the same option that you selected in the Print dialog box above (Print
Space section, Profile option).
●sRGB: this is the default color space. The input RGB data are converted to CMYK using the
printers internal color maps, which depend on the paper type and print quality selected. These
are the most “versatile” color maps, producing saturated colors for CAD and office applications
and also...

Photoshop menu (Mac OS).
●Working spaces: the working space is the color space you want to use when manipulating

The applications PostScript Color Management option will override the color settings of the driver

image as needed.
3.When you have the image ready to send to the output device, that is the moment to simulate on
your printer what will appear on the output device. You must convert the image from the source
or work profile to the output CMYK device, and then again from the output CMYK device to the
printer profile (calibrated).
In InDesign we recommend the Proof Setup command (View > Proof Setup -> Custom)....

placed objects have their own assigned profile and rendering intent. Then, each element is
converted from its own color space to the simulation color space, using its own rendering intent.
●Profile: select the profile that corresponds to the device you want to emulate (usually a
particular press profile or an standard press profile)
