2 Follow the previous calibration steps.
Now your second display is calibrated.
Important: Your display’s profile is a snapshot of the device’s behavior. If the behavior
of the display changes, the profile is no longer valid. Therefore, it’s important to profile
your display as frequently as possible. Some color adjustment professionals profile their
displays daily.
Calibrating and Profiling Your Printer
Calibrating and profiling your printer is similar to calibrating and profiling your display.
The color management system comes with color charts specifically designed to help the
calibration system create a profile for your printer.
To calibrate and profile your printer
1 If you haven’t already done so, install the software that came with your color management
system.
2 Open the color calibration software application.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions to print the color chart using the printer you want to
profile.
4 Follow the instructions that came with your color management system to scan the color
chart.
When the application has finished scanning the color chart, it asks you to save the custom
ICC profile created during the calibration process. This profile is saved at
/Users/username/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/. Now your printer is profiled.
