Soft Proofing using Printroom.icc profile
The fact of the matter is that some colors on the edge of the gamut are not reproducible by the printers. As a photographer, you can check for and correct the ”out of gamut” conditions by soft proofing the image with the provided Printroom.icc profile.
| Save the Printroom ICC Profile to the proper location: | |
| Win98, Win98SE, WinMe | C:\Windows\System\Color |
| WinXP | C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color |
| Windows NT, Win 2000 | C:\WinNT\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color |
| Mac OS 9.x | System Folder>ColorSync Pro |
| gMac OS X | |
If the ICC files are not in any of these folders on your computer you can find
the correct folder by searching your computer for *.icc.
