A profile is a TekColor color correction that attempts to match the printer’s 
output to a specific reference, such as a printing press.  Editing profiles is an 

 

 feature used to modify standard TekColor profiles (SWOP Press, 

SNAP Press, Commercial Press, and Euroscale Press) to improve color 
matching.  For proofing pre-press work, you can create and use custom 
profiles to improve the color matching to a specific printing press.  The 
PhaserMatch Profile commands have the following features:  

 

■

 

Modify profiles using a simple table, a curve editing window, or a 
detailed table of measured data.

 

■

 

Adjust the dot gain of printing press profiles to more closely 
match the dot gain of individual printing presses.

 

■

 

Adjust the background paper color of printing press profiles to 
reflect the color of the actual paper (white or off-white) used 
for printing.  

 

■

 

Adjust color density and color reproduction curves to simulate the 
color output of a target printing press.

 

■

 

Save and load, import and export, custom profiles for different 
paper background colors or for the dot gain expected on a 
particular printing press.

 

■

 

Custom profiles can be easily selected in Tektronix drivers for 
Macintosh and Windows users.
