You can determine which media configuration and ICC profiles are associated with each other by matching the following elements:
- Device name and model
- Paper abbreviation
- Resolution
Elements in profile names
Matching elements are used in the file name of the associated proof ICC profile and ICC DeviceLink profile to indicate that they work together.

<source profile> | Used for DeviceLink profiles and profiles for the halftone emulation feature. Indicates which source profile and/or color standard the DeviceLink profile simulates. A <ColorStandard_Year_U> or <ColorStandard_Year_UV> naming convention is used. For example, <ColorStandard> may represent the following information: <TW>: Thermal Waterproof <TM>: Thermal Matchprint <SW>: SWOP <F23>: Fogra 23 <Year> indicates the year that the standards organization obtained the characterization data. <U> indicates an unfiltered spectrophotometer, and <UV> indicates a UV-filtered (ultra-violet filtered) spectrophotometer. These characters appear only when both a U and a UV version of the profile exist. |
<screen ruling> | Indicates screen ruling in lpi or lcm. Screen ruling is included in profiles that are used for the halftone emulation feature. |
<profile version> | Indicates the version of the profile |
<rendering intent> | These are used only as needed. <A>: Absolute colormetric rendering intent <R>: Relative colormetric rendering intent <P>: Perceptual colormetric rendering intent <M>: Modified, indicates the paper tint was removed from the profile after it was created For <U> or <UV>, see Source profile. |
<filter used> | Used only as needed. <U>: Indicates an unfiltered spectrophotometer was used to create the profile <UV>: Indicates a UV-filtered spectrophotometer was used to create the profile Measurement conditions are indicated by <M0>, <M1>, or <M2>. |
