Printer Profiling: How it fits into your workflow
The printing process, printer, colour, and, above all, paper all have a huge influence on how a file looks when printed. The same file looks completely different on glossy paper than it does on a matt, grained canvas.
You must enable your image processing programme to simulate the next processing step, that is, printing. To make this possible, the specific properties of the combination of printer, colour and printing material must be known. These properties are saved in an ICC profile and enable the image processing software to simulate the printout's effect in the soft proofing view.
