What is the ICC profile in Object Info in Composer?

Post by mattbuilt1 »

I created a custom profile with an ICC profile for our sublimation ink & paper. When I load an image to print into Composer, the Object Info in the bottom-left corner shows an ICC profile that does not match the "Color data" chosen in the New Profile (named "Sublimation Profile"). This ICC stated in Object Info does not change regardless of which Media Type (my new Sublimation Profile or a stock media type) is chosen from the Main print settings dropdown.

Hello, there are two kinds of ICC profiles, "document profiles" / "image profiles" and "printer profiles". The object info shows the ICC profile that is embedded in the image (JPG, PNG or TIFF) or in the PDF document, this information does not change.

Your sublimation profile must be added in the "PrintFab" application, dialog "Profiles" and can later be chosen using the dropdown "Media Type" on the right.

Conversion from one profile to the other is done by the PrintFab color management.
