CMYK Device Profile
Create press or proofer ICC profiles using the CC-400 test chart — supports G7 integration and Print Condition Qualifier.

Prerequisites for All Profiles
- A supported and calibrated measurement instrument connected via CC Capture
- The device must be in a stable, repeatable state — address precision issues before profiling
- For press profiles: G7 calibration applied first gives the best profile accuracy
- For display profiles: the display must be warmed up (minimum 30 minutes)
Profile quality depends on print stability. A press that varies sheet-to-sheet will produce an ICC profile with poor accuracy. Run a benchmarking procedure first to confirm the device is stable enough to profile.
After Profiling: Print Condition Qualifier
Once a CMYK ICC profile is created, ChromaChecker’s Print Condition Qualifier can optimise the profile by iterating the RIP settings to achieve the best possible gamut coverage and gray balance within the constraints of the printing condition. This is particularly valuable for difficult substrates or ECG (extended color gamut) workflows.
