Output device ICC profile creation process

Take the printing equipment as an example: Explain the production of the ICC profile of the output device.

1 calibration

Prior to the official printing of the IT 8.7/3 color standard, the control strip tool was used to calibrate the printing equipment, mainly referring to solid density and dot coverage. The environment and production conditions of the printing press are required to be stable. For example, the solid density and dot coverage in official production must be consistent with the printing of the IT8.7/3 color standard. Only the ICC profile generated in this way can correctly reflect this. The color characteristics of the press.

The IT8.7/3 color scale is output and printed to obtain proofs. In addition, the film output and the printing process are adjusted to the standard state.

3 Generate ICC profile in ICC profile creation software

Run the ICC profile creation software, select the measurement option, generally online automatic measurement, the scanning spectrophotometer is driven, follow the prompts to measure the color of the IT8.7/3 print sample, after the measurement, the software will measure the color The degree data corresponds exactly to the CMYK data of the color block in the color code. After the ICC profile of the output device is generated by the software, the ICC profile is saved.

Unlike a scanner that has only one ICC profile, a single press may have multiple ICC profiles because if the paper, ink, dot, and environmental conditions change, it will have an effect on color, so it must be Make multiple ICC profiles for different paper and ink combinations to meet your production needs.

If each device associated with color reproduction has an ICC profile, it provides the necessary foundation for color copy consistency. The following is only a screen soft proof to illustrate the importance of ICC profiles in color reproduction.

A color job must be sampled before it is officially printed. One of the functions of proofing is to check the quality of the color on the sample. If the error can be found before the official printing, the cost can be reduced, and the preview can be previewed to the actual printing. What about the color effect?

The display is completely different from the mechanism for printing and reproducing colors. The red, green and blue colors are generated on the display screen, which are colored in the color-light mixing mode, and the yellow, magenta, cyan and black colors used in the four-color printing are four. The ink is colored in a color mixing mode; the color gamut of the two devices is also different. Therefore, the color seen on the display actually has a large difference from the color on the final print.
