Specifying color profiles for external images

You can specify ICC (International Color Consortium) color profiles when using external images in Reference or Include mode. These settings are specified in the AFP driver at Job Begin.

Image color profile settings

The AFP driver setting .Name (Color Profile-Image-Audit) is used to specify the name of an external color profile file for an image. When using Include mode, the setting .Location (Color Profile-Image-Audit) specifies the file path to the directory with the color profile.

These settings override color profile settings specified for the entire AFP data stream at Job Begin or at page level at Page Begin.

Specifying color profiles for images using a map file

You can use a map file to specify color profiles for images. When you map an image to an external resource, you can also map a color profile for the image using the COLORPROFILE keyword.

Settings in the map file override the color profile settings for the image in the GUI at Job Begin.
