Default color bars with custom profiles (with white flood)

Set up the Certified Process for Color Confirmation to use a default color bar with custom profiles created by you.

Color bar

The color bar will be created in Proofer Administrator using the default color bar artwork provided with Kodak Proofing Software.

Profile

The profile will be a custom profile. Custom profiles are created by you. You must use Proofer Administrator to sign these profiles before you use the profiles with the Certified Process for Color Confirmation. In Proofer Administrator, on the ICC Profiles tab, the origin of these profiles is Custom.

Procedure

1. Import the desired ICC profile.
2. Sign the imported profile for the Simulation category.
3. If applicable, export any required signed ICC profiles. 
4. Copy the signed profiles to workflow software.  
5. Create the color bar using the preinstalled Kodak Default Color Bar artwork and the custom ICC profile selected from the Characterization Standard list.
6. Create a layout with the Certified Process for Color Confirmation option enabled and the Default color bar selected.
7. Create user libraries for white ink.
8. Set up the proofing hot folder or workflow process template to use this layout, the applicable media configuration, and the proofer ICC device or DeviceLink profile.
9. Export and submit the artwork PDF file to this processing setup for color management. 
10. When the crosshairs are correctly aligned on the printed color bar, use the Measurement wizard to measure the color bar to complete the setup and and populate the L*a*b* Target Values.
