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 ty pes most commonly used in 
different regions of the world:
•Euroscale – Europe
• SWOP – North America 
• To y o  –  J a p a n
     graphicpro-RGBmatch.    
1.CMYK Data  
2. CMYK Input Profile  
3. Printer output profile  
4. Printed document  
5. CMYK device you wish to simulate (e.g. SWOP press)
6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile
    
To print CMYK Ink Simulations,  you must use PostScript printer 
driver supplied.
Although it is possible to perf orm CMYK ink simulations using 
the Office Color options in th e 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 “Pre serve Black” feature, or specifying an 
alternative printer output profile.
Instructions on how to apply Ink Simulations appear in the 
next section (Windows  page 232, Mac OS 9  page 233, 
Mac OS X  page 234).

NOTE:  This information applies to the Windows PostScript 
driver only.
If you are using a source CMYK document, use the following 
printer driver settings to perf orm a CMYK Ink Simulation:    
1. On the printer driver [Color]  tab, select [Graphic Pro] 
and click [Options].
2. Select [ICC Profile color Matching].
3. Select the [CMYK Input profile] that corresponds to the 
device you are trying to  match such as a SWOP or 
Euroscale Press. If you have another CMYK Ink profile 
that you wish to use, select  it here as the appropriate 
“CMYK Source x” profile.
Remember that the names “CMYK Source 1”, “CMYK 
Source  2” and so on relate to the number assigned to the 
profile using Profile Assistant.  See “Using Profile 
Assistant” on page 222.   
Use the [Preserve Black] option  to keep the original gray 
component (K channel) informat i o n .  I f  [ P r e s e r v e  B l a c k ]  i s  
disabled, the gray componen ts may be printed using a 
mixture of CMYK toner, instea d of just K (black) toner. 
4. Select a 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.
If you have selected a profile other than [Auto], select the
