Why ICC profiles are usefull ?
Through the printing and analysis of an ICC target composed of color patches, an ICC profile is created. It defines what and how the printer can print. Each measured patch is analysed according to several criteria : color, saturation, luminance, paper white temperature. Any optical bleaching agents contained in the paper are also detected. Thanks to the analysis of the performances of your printer, each color can be printed with the proper hue and luminance ; and the colored dominances which sometimes appear on your printings, especially black and white ones, can be corrected. The creation of a tailor-made profile will enable you to use your printer at full capacity.
