Then retouch the 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) ●Paper White: this checkbox emulates the whiteness of the paper on the monitor. The effect is the same as using the Absolute Colorimetric rendering intent. ●Ink Black: this...
