Simulating another printer – RGB source data
The Graphic Pro color matching system can be used to 
simulate the color output of another printer.
    graphicpro-RGBmatch.eps   
     
     
To simulate the output of another printer, you need to 
download at least 2 profiles to your printer using Profile 
Assistant:
1. RGB data 2. Printed document
3. RGB source profile 4. Scanner, monitor, camera, etc.
5. Printer output profile 6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile.
Important!
Be aware that if the device you are trying to 
simulate has different color capabilities from 
your own printer, exact color simulation will not 
be possible. For example, it may be difficult to 
reproduce the exact colors of an inkjet printer 
on a toner-based printer.
Additionally, differences in the range of 
printable colors between different devices can 
make simulation using RGB source data 
inaccurate. To achieve best results when 
simulating the color output of other printers, 
you are strongly advised to use CMYK data as a 
source. See CMYK Ink Simulations on page  206.

•RGB Source Profile
•Simulation Target Profile
•Printer Output Profile (optional)
Once the profile(s) have been downloaded, make the 
appropriate selections in the printer driver. These are 
described in the next section (Windows page 203, Mac OS 9 
page 204, Mac OS X page 205).
Windows
This information applies to the Windows PCL 5c, PCL 6 and 
PostScript drivers.  
If you are using a source RGB document, simulate the output 
of another printer by making the following selections in the 
printer driver:
1.On the printer driver [color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] and 
click [Options].    
2.Select [Printer Simulation].
3.Select the ICC profile that corresponds to the device 
used to capture or display your source document - this 
could be a 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 
profile using Profile Assistant. See “Using Profile 
Assistant” on page 198.
4.Select a Simulation Target Profile.
This profile corresponds to the printer you want to 
simulate.
If you wish to produce black and grey colors that are 
printed using only black toner, enable the [Preserve 
Black] option. Although this produces a better quality 
print, the black and grey colors will not be simulated 
accurately.
5.Select your printer output profile.
If [Auto] is selected, the factory default profiles that are 
embedded in the printer will be used. If you have created 
a printer profile yourself using profile creation software, 
select it here and choose a rendering intent.

CMYK ink simulations – CMYK source data
The ICC-based color 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 Color options in the printer driver, we recommend 
that you use the Graphic Pro color matching system to perform 
CMYK ink simulations, as this provides additional controls, 
such as using the “Preserve Black” feature, or specifying an 
alternative printer output profile.
Instructions on how to apply Ink Simulations appear in the 
next section (Windows page 206, Mac OS 9 page 207, 
Mac OS X page 208).
Windows
If you are using a source CMYK document, use the following 
printer driver settings to perform a CMYK Ink Simulation:    
1. CMYK data 4. Printed document
2. CMYK input profile 5. CMYK device you wish to simulate (e.g. SWOP 
press)
3. Printer output profile 6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile
NOTE
This information applies to the Windows 
PostScript driver only.
