If you are using a source RGB document, simulate the output of 
another printer by making the following selections in the printer 
driver:

2. From the [Printer] menu  (1), select your printer model.
3. Select [Colour Options]  (2).
4. Choose [Colour Mode]  → [Graphic Pro]  (3).
5. Choose [Colour]  → [Graphic Pro 1]  (4).
6. Choose [Colour Matching Task]  → [Printer Simulation]  (5).
7. From the [RGB Profile source]  (6), select the ICC profile 
that corresponds to the device you are trying to match 
such as your monitor, scanner or digital camera.
Remember that the names “RGB Source 1”, “RGB 
Source 2” and so on relate to the number assigned to the

If you wish to produce black and grey colours that are 
printed using only black toner, enable the [Preserve Black] 
option. Although this produces a better quality print, the 
black and grey colours will not be simulated accurately.

10. From the [Printer Output Profile] menu  (9), select your 
printer profile.
11. If [Auto] is selected, the factory default profiles that are

CMYK INK SIMULATIONS - CMYK SOURCE DATA
The ICC-based colour matching system can be used to simulate 
the output on commercial printing presses.
You can select from the ink types most commonly used in 
different regions of the world:>Euroscale – Europe
> Swop – North America 
> To y o  –  J a p a n
To print CMYK Ink Simulations, you must use PostScript printer 
driver supplied. 
Although it is possible to perform CMYK ink simulations using the 
Office Colour options in the pr inter driver, we recommend that 
you use the Graphic Pro colour matching system to perform 
CMYK ink simulations, as this pr ovides additional controls, such 
as using the “Preserve Black” featur e, or specifying an alternative 
printer output profile.
Instructions on how to apply Ink Simulations appear in the next 
section (Windows page 77, Mac OS 9 page 78, Mac OS X 
page 80).
1. CMYK data 2. Printed document
3. CMYK input profile4. CMYK device you wish to simulate (e.g. SWOP  press)
5. Printer output profile 6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile

If you are using a source CMYK document, use the following 
printer driver settings to perform a CMYK Ink Simulation:    
1.On the printer driver [Colour] tab, select [Graphic Pro]  (1) 
and click [Options].
2. Select [ICC Profile Colour Matching]  (2).
3. Select the [CMYK Input profile]  (3) that corresponds to
