Discussion Color Gamut/Profile

Regularly, I set the RIP to use the input profiles which are embedded in the files. When saving data out of a lot of graphic applications to the main file formats (PDF, AI, TIF, JPG and so on), the profiles of the working spaces are saved within the file, and will be applied to the next ICC workflow step.

If using a different profile than the one from the workspace the graphic is created in, you risk color deviations because of the wrong profile is used to calculate the colors when converting to the PCS, what will need to wrong color values calculated by the output/printer profiles.

 

I print to my printers full colour gamut.

most people don't have a need to use a printing standard like GRAcol or Fogra unless you're printing commercial products like magazines, packaging.
You're basically just limiting your printers colour output to match a standard.

 

At this settings the use of embedded profiles is activated. Look at "Use Embedded Profile When Available".

 

From what you have just said, you have no reason to print to a standard.
i can understand with wanting the same colour output though out the whole shop, but if they just print to their maximum capability, all the printers will be very close anyway as long as they're all calibrated correctly.
