Profile Management Screen
Overview of Profile Management screen
Use of Color Centro enables you to manage several profiles which are saved to the Local computer, Network computer, and the image controller, and are necessary for the color printing.
In addition, Color Centro can register 50 profiles at the maximum to the image controller when the size of each profile is 10 MB or less.
Color Centro manages profiles, and also it creates and edits those by starting the utility software, "Color Centro Profiler".
A profile is data that describes the color characteristics of an output device.
It defines color spaces of input and output. A device link profile is a fixed color conversion table between 2 device profiles.
The color conversion is pre-processed, which enables the processing speed to be accelerated. Also, after color conversion has been completed, the correct and stable color output is maintained.
The types of profile which Color Centro manages are as follows;
RGB Source Profile (RGB SP): For details, refer to Management of RGB Source Profiles.
CMYK Target Profile (CMYK TP): For details, refer to Management of CMYK Target Profiles and CMYK Target Profile: Creation.
Printer Profile (Printer P): For details, refer to Management of Printer Profiles and Printer Profile: Creation.
RGB-CMYK Device Link Profile (RGB-CMYK DLP): For details, refer to Management of RGB-CMYK Device Link Profiles, RGB-CMYK Device Link Profile: Creation, and RGB-CMYK Device Link Profile: Editing.
CMYK-CMYK Device Link Profile (CMYK-CMYK DLP): For details, refer to Management of CMYK-CMYK Device Link Profiles, CMYK-CMYK Device Link Profile: Creation, and CMYK-CMYK Device Link Profile: Editing.
