Adobe Icc Profiles

 

Color management requires ICC-compliant profiles to render the Adobe Acrobat PDF document correctly on the output device. You can use and customize color profiles for monitors, input devices, output devices, and documents. ICC profiles An ICC (International Color Consortium) profile is a file that describes how to correctly convert image files from one color space to another. For example, to correctly display images designed for printing on a computer monitor, you can choose an ICC profile.

Why do I need an ICC (color) profile? Printing with ICC profiles helps to insure accurate color in your printed photographs, and is an essential part of a color-managed workflow. When combined with a matching media setting and calibrated monitor, what you see on paper should match what you see on screen. The most common issues we hear along with solutions have been included in our FAQ.

Step 1 - Download and Install the .icc Profile

Icc

Go to the profile downloads page and using the menu select your printer brand and model. To download the profile, simply click on the download button to the right of each paper name. If prompted, save the file to your desktop.

After downloading the file to your computer, you will need to move or copy it to a specific folder on your computer. Here are the default folders for each operating system:

MacOS: librarycolorsyncprofiles or youruserfolderlibrarycolorsyncprofiles

To open the ColorSync folder on your computer, you will first need to open the Library folder, which is hidden by default.

From the Finder, click on the Go menu. With the Go menu open, hold down the Option key on your keyboard. Library will then appear in the Go menu. Click on Library, and the folder will open in a finder window. Navigate to ColorSync>Profiles, and move or copy the saved ICC profile to this folder.

Windows 98 & Me windowssystemcolor

Windows Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10 'right-click' on the saved .icc file and select 'install profile'. The profile will be copied to the appropriate folder on your computer. If you prefer to install the profile manually, move it to: windowssystem32spooldriverscolor

To install an ICC profile in Windows, locate your downloaded ICC profile, right-click on the file, and select ‘install profile’. This will copy the ICC profile into the correct folder. If you don’t see ‘install profile’ as an option, make sure the downloaded file has a .icc extension.
