ColorQuartet 5.0 Pro

Standard ColorQuartet CMYK profiles

• ColorQuartet includes a number of pre-programmed CMYK profiles based on different printing

requirements:

• The technical characteristics of the individual tables are listed below. If you have your printing

done out of house, you can use this information to help the printing company tell you which

CMYK profile to use for a given job.

• Before importing other CMYK profiles, try the ones supplied and evaluate whether they will

suit your needs (possibly modiﬁ

ed on site to meet special requirements).

• In particular, we recommend starting with Offset 340 UCR.icc for general, medium-to high-

quality printing, and Newsprint 280 GCR.icc for jobs that are less demanding or that will be

printed on coarse paper.
