Digital Proofing: Step by step

As you can see from the overview, different charts will be used for press profiles covering different

color regions. The naming convention for the color regions is as follows:

CMYK = CMYK

Orange, Red area = R

Green = G

Blue, Violet area = B

So if you are profiling a press with CMYK, Orange, and Violet, please pick the CMYKRB chart that

corresponds with your spectrophotometer.

Making a new profile and printing the test chart on the press

Outputting charts on your press is needed to make a profile. A profile will describe overprints of

CMYK, CMYKOV or CMYKOVG in the CieLab colorspace.

Start by defining a new proof process. In Color Kit, right-click on ‘Esko profiles, Proofer’ and choose

‘new’, or alternatively go to the File menu and choose ‘New’.

Note! The list above explains all the possible combinations. In practice, the

choice of a chart will be practically intuitive. The list of charts is limited through

the choice of the output inks and the connected spectrophotometer. In the

step-by step workflow in section 9 this will become clear!
