Kodak Proofing Software supports default and custom ICC device or DeviceLink profiles:

• Default ICC profiles are provided and signed by Kodak, ready for use with Certified Process for Color Confirmation.
• Custom ICC profiles include imported ICC device profiles and ICC DeviceLink profiles that were created outside of Kodak Proofing Software.
• ICC DeviceLink profile may be used to emulate how a press prints by pairing the source profile with the proofer profile.

Note: DeviceLinks do not support spot colors or extended process-color sets, such as CMYKOG.

• The following examples are types of ICC device profiles:
• Proofer profiles are required for media configurations.
• Source profiles represent color standards that proofers should simulate and may be used in profile pairs for DeviceLinks or for profile-based color bars.

The Proofer Administrator ICC Profiles tab lists all available ICC device and DeviceLink profiles for the selected proofer, including profiles shipped with the system and profiles that you may have manually imported.

On the Proofer Administrator ICC Profiles tab, you can perform the following actions:

• Select a profile to view its description.
• Enable, disable, view, import, export, or delete profiles.
• Sign custom profiles and assign a category to custom profiles.
• Create DeviceLinks for CMYK colors.
• Use categories to control which profiles appear in Kodak Proofing Software selection lists.

Note: Profiles must be enabled to be available for selection in Kodak Proofing Software lists.

Terminology notes:

• In the software and the user documentation, the terms DeviceLink and DeviceLink profile both refer to an ICC DeviceLink profile. (Older instances of device link may also appear.)
• A proofer profile may also be referred to as a paper profile.
• A source profile may also be referred to as an input profile or a halftone emulation profile.
