The source profile defines the RGB color space of the object’s
source: characteristics such as the white point, gamma, and type
of phosphors used. The output profile defines the gamut of an
output device, such as a printer. The Color Server (or host-based
Content Management System (CMS)) uses a deviceindependent
color space to translate between the source color space and the
color space of the output device.
The Profile Manager on the CX print server enables you to import
profiles which define the color space of your printer and are based
on the combinations of paper and toner that you are using. For
different media types, you need different destination profiles.
Creating a destination profile
Requirements
Make sure that the printer is calibrated.
The media that you choose must be loaded as SEF, and the
printer must be ready for printing.
The Profiling Tool enables you to create destination profiles that
are best suited for the Xerox DocuColor 7002/8002 Digital Press.
You can create custom destination profiles for each press and fine
tune the color outputs of the press, improve color matching
between presses, and improve color consistency over time.
Note: It is recommended that you create a destination profile for each paper
stock that you use.
