CMYK ICC Profiles
CMYK profile should be chosen according to the paper type used for the final product. Everbest Printing
has recommended output Intent ICC profiles in the following table -2 Output Intent ICC Profiles for
CMYK images and proof preparation. These ICC profiles are made based on international offset
printing standard (ISO 12647-2). They are industry recognized ICC profiles and registered in www.
color.org.
If you have any doubts about the ICC profile, contact your (% customer service representatives
for advice. All these profiles come together withPhotoshop CS3RUDERYH. You also can contact us
for download below ICC profiles in Everbest's website or FtP.

1.3 Color Convertion
1.3.1 RGB to CMYK Conversion
For RGB to CMYK convert ion, please following the recommended procedures:
1. Make sure that RGB images are assigned to a proper source profile. If the source profile
is unknown, use Adobe RGB 1998 as default RGB source profile.
2. Make sure the desired output intent profile is chosen in CMYK working color space in
Photoshop color setting.
3. 6HOHFWLRQ&RQYHUWWR3URILOHFRQILUP'HVWLQDWLRQ6SDFHSURILOH,62&RDWHGY(&,
Set the rendering intent as “Relative Colorimetric”.
1.3.2 CMYK-to-CMYK Conversion
In the case that images have already been converted into CMYK using other profile other than the
desired profile from Table 2. For example, U.S. web coated (SWOP) CMYK, you need to soft proofing
the colors using the Everbest recommended profiles such as ISOCoated.icc. If there is an
obvious difference, make the CMYK-to-CMYK conversion as follows:
1. Use the original profile as source profile, in this example is U.S. web coated (SWOP).
2. Use the desired profile as destination profile, in this case is ISOCoate.
3. Use “Relative Colorimetric” intent.
