ICC Profiles

ICC Profiles are the language of color. Because devices such as monitors, cameras, and printers display color differently, they use ICC Profiles to communicate how to display color accurately and consistently. We have provided a standard ICC color profile for our printers.

Installing our ICC Profiles
