All you have to do is install the latest ICC profile versions and embed them in your artwork.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In September 2015, several colour profile standards were revised and published by the International Color Consortium (ICC). Today, the use of ICC profiles is commonplace in the graphics arts industry and we at Onlineprinters also use them to produce higher quality prints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#farbprofile-wozu\">Why colour profiles?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#1a\">Step 1a:Installing ICC profiles (new version 3)<\/a>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 3px;\">\n<li><a href=\"#1a-farbprofile-windows\">Installing version 3 ICC profiles on Windows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#1a-farbprofile-mac\">Installing version 3 ICC profiles on Mac OS<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#1b-farbprofile-installieren-alt\">Step 1b:Installing ICC profiles (old version 2)<\/a>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 3px;\">\n<li><a href=\"#1b-farbprofile-windows\">Installing version 2 ICC profiles on Windows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#1b-farbprofile-mac\">Installing version 2 ICC profiles on Mac OS<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#farbeinstellungen-indesign\">Step 2: Defining InDesign colour settings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#2-farbprofile-photoshop\">Step 3: Defining Photoshop colour settings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#tiefschwarz\">Step 4 (optional): Standard black vs. rich black \u2013 displaying black in InDesign<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"farbprofile-wozu\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Why colour profiles?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Each device has its own individual colour space that it can display. This is why images look different on a monitor, poster or in a brochure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">When it comes to printing, paper types are challenging because of their different colouring and texture. The same print ink and artwork can look completely different depending on the paper stock. Colour profiles aim to create consistent and predictable colour results on different devices by accounting for the characteristics of paper types and printing techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">To achieve this, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.color.org\/index.xalter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Color Consortium<\/a> (ICC) develops <strong>colour profiles<\/strong> for different media. The ICC profiles can be downloaded for free (more on this later). They are compatible with Windows, Mac OS and any other standard operating system. However, ICC profiles are usually not installed on your computer by default so you have to do this manually. Also, you have to embed the ICC profiles in your layout program. We will explain how to do this later in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">ICC profiles are continuously developed further. The colour profiles relevant for print shops (PSO coated &amp; uncoated) have been available in an updated version since 2015. The latest <strong>version 3<\/strong> of this standard promises even better colour reproduction, especially on natural papers. But the 12647-2:2013 printing standard also specifies new requirements for measurement technology, standard illumination and proof papers.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-background custom-background-dos\">\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">To print on coated papers such as art paper, Onlineprinters needs the <strong>PSO coated v3<\/strong> profile. For uncoated paper stocks such as offset and natural papers, we apply the <strong>PSO uncoated v3<\/strong> profile. See the &#8220;Data note&#8221; tab on the product page for information on the required colour profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a name=\"1a\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Installing the new ICC profiles (version 3)<\/h2>\n<p>The colour profiles for coated and uncoated papers are relevant for printing. The free ICC profiles are provided by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eci.org\/en\/start\">ECI<\/a> (European Color Initiative) and can be downloaded as a ZIP file here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eci.org\/_media\/downloads\/icc_profiles_from_eci\/pso-coated_v3.zip\">coated papers = PSO coated V3 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eci.org\/_media\/downloads\/icc_profiles_from_eci\/pso-uncoated_v3_fogra52.zip\">uncoated papers = PSO uncoated V3 <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alternatively, the profiles are available on the ECI website under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eci.org\/en\/downloads\">Downloads<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eci.org\/en\/downloads#exchange_color_space_ecicmyk\">Exchange color space eciCMYK<\/a>. The profiles are also known as FOGRA 51 and FOGRA 52<\/p>\n<p>Extract the ZIP file using a suitable program. The further installation process depends on your operating system.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1a-farbprofile-windows\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Installing colour profiles on Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Open the extracted folder.

Repeat the process with a different colour profile.
