In Mac OSX Lion, you can change the permissions on the Mac HD/Library/ColorSync folder and then the Mac HD/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder for Everyone to Read/Write to be able install ICC profiles into the MacHD/ColorSync/Library/Profiles folder.

The process of "installing" an ICC color profile is nothing more than pasting (or drag and drop) into a specific folder in the operating system. Your printing software looks in that folder when it comes time to print. It then creates a profile list you can choose from in the print dialog.
Use ColorSync Utility to view installed color profiles on your Mac. When you install devices, such as cameras, displays, or printers, a color profile containing the color capabilities and limits for each device is created.
In an ICC profile color managed editing application such as GIMP, every image has an assigned ICC color profile that (among other things) tells the Color Management System (in GIMP's case Little CMS) what color space to use when sending the image to the screen.
Let's say you have just finished editing an image. You edited the image in GIMP's built-in sRGB color space and now you want to convert a flattened copy of the image to a printer profile before sending it off to be printed. The screenshots below show the procedure:
Under Current Color Profile is a description of the currently assigned color profile, in this case GIMP's built-in sRGB profile. Clicking on the "+" icon next to the description of the currently assigned profile displays the contents of various information tags in the assigned ICC profile.
Clicking on the "+" icons next to the words Profile details displays the contents of various information tags in the ICC profile that you pick as the profile to which the image will be converted. Until you've actually picked a new profile, the profile in the Convert to box defaults to a GIMP built-in sRGB profile.
Between Convert to and Profile details is a drop-down box that allows you to pick a new profile. Clicking in the drop-down box brings up a list of recently used profiles (if any). At the bottom of the list is an option to Select color profile from disk...:
Clicking on Select color profile from disk... brings up the Select Destination Profile dialog for navigating to the disk location of the profile that you want to select from disk. The box has three panels:
As the desired profile is shown in the list of recently used profiles, the profile can be directly selected from the list of recently used profiles by clicking on the Open button in the lower right corner. Or as shown in the next screenshot,it can be selected by navigating to the profile's location on disk.
"Destination profile" is the technical term for the profile to which you want to convert your image. Similarly, "source profile" refers to the current ICC color space (the color space the image is already in, before you convert it to the destination profile).
As shown in the screenshot below, the left and center panels of the Select Destination Profile dialog allow you to navigate to where your ICC profiles are stored on disk, and then pick the desired destination ICC color profile, and the right panel displays informational tags embedded in the selected profile. Click on the Open button to select the "Destination Profile".
When you've picked the desired conversion options, click on the Convert button in the lower right corner, and the image will be converted to the selected destination profile, in the current example, an RGB printer profile:
Kathryn: If you export from InDesign to the PDF/X-1a pdf preset, and set the Destination pop-up menu (in the Output pane of the PDF Export Options dialog box) to the SWOP Coated 240% Ink Limit, then by default InDesign will convert all your RGB images to CMYK for you, but it will not include the profile.
Images should be in CMYK, however there is no explicit mention of *what ICC profile to use*, ideally you would have either their preferred simulation profile (usually an offset press profile) or the profile of their digital printer that is producing the colour pages (HP Indigo, Kodak NexPress etc).
You mention a loss of saturation when converting to what I presume is the Custom CMYK 240% profile. Did you convert a CMYK image or an RGB image? Were the image profiles setup correctly, as the colour conversion requires an accurate source to convert into the destination.
Thank-you both Stephen and David for your helpful replies. My loss in saturation was from converting sRGB to CMYK (not from changing the profile to the 240% limit). So I have done some Photoshop adjustment to compensate a bit.
By converting from the U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ICC profile to Custom CMYK 240%, you are reseparating the file to achieve the reduced total ink limit, however you are also affecting the colour build of each pixel and affecting the TVI/dot gain and the gray balance too.
Try this experiment: Convert from the U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ICC profile to Custom CMYK 240% profile, then use the Edit/Assign Profile command to preview how the Custom CMYK conversion will look in U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 printing conditions. Do you like what you see? Is there a colour cast or slight shift in tone?
So two questions:Can I save my custom Photoshop profile so I can use both profiles in photoshop and in InDesign?Can I somehow use the FOGRA27 color profile as a base, while adding the 280% ink limit?
No Jip, I am not suggesting another company as such, just noting that F39 replaces F27, so you should be able to simply convert using a F39 ink limited profile instead of using the outdated F27 profile that delivers too much ink.
I found a printing service that can work with a higher ink density (300%), offers a color profile and an Adobe PDF Preset. This made it a lot easier to meet their specifications :) Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much for this information. Really helped a lot. The profile you supplied still gave me a few 240 errors but I was able to find one on colormanagement that was rated for 230% max that worked great. Again, thanks so much.
HELP!! This was very helpful to me because Ingram Spark does not accept files with ink over 240. So I was able to fix all of the photos in a heavily illustrated book to the ICC profile 240. HOWEVER, all of the text in the book is showing red when the black swatch used for the text is C-60 M-50 Y-40 K-100, which equals 250. Should I just ignore the red warnings for the text and hope Ingram does not reject the file?
This is GREAT! I did not know it was possible to manage ink limits while exporting to pdf from InDesign: I have been using PS to change RGB images with high ink coverage to CMYK with the right profiles for years :-( Happy I finally found this post!
As a photographer, you know that color management is important to get right. And one of the most important aspects of color management is using ICC profiles. ICC profiles are created by color experts and help ensure that the colors you see on your screen match the colors you see in real life.
A color management system is a solution to have system that interprets and translates color accurately between devices. It compares the color space in which a color was created to the color space in which the same color will be output. It also makes the necessary adjustments to represent the color as consistently as possible among number of devices. It translates colors with the help of color profiles.
Step 2: We need to calibrate and profile our monitor. The correct color visualisation is essential if we are making creative decision that involves the color we specify in our document.
Input device profiles: It describes the color profiles of your input devices like camera, scanner, etc. You can select the Adobe profile in your input device if you input device supports profile selection option.
Output device profiles: The output device profile describes the color space of the output device such as desktop printers or a printing press. It considered specific printing conditions, such as the type of paper and ink.
Document profiles: It defines the specific RGB or CMYK color space of a document. It assigns or tags a document with a profile that the application provides a definition of actual color appearance in the document. Such as: R=127, G=12, B=107. It is just a set of numbers that are differently displayed on different devices.
When device is added to our computer, we can install the color profiles. We can get the related device profile from the from our device manufacturer, we can download it from the web, or we can create custom profiles using professional profiling equipment.
Profile Mismatches: It displays a message when we opening the document tagged with a profile other than the current working space. The policy's default behaviour can be override using the given option. You can select this option; in case you want to ensure the appropriate color management of pasted colors on a case-by-case basis.
Im Druck sind insbesondere Papiere eine Herausforderung, denn diese haben unterschiedliche Färbungen und Oberflächenstrukturen. Identische Druckfarben und Druckmotive können auf unterschiedlichen Papieren völlig anders wirken. Mit Farbprofilen, welche die Besonderheiten von Papieren und Druckverfahren berücksichtigen, wird angestrebt, Farben auf allen Medien so ähnlich wie möglich aussehen zu lassen.
Damit das funktioniert, entwickelt das International Color Consortium (ICC) Farbprofile für unterschiedlichste Medien. Die Farbprofile stehen zum kostenlosen Download bereit (dazu gleich mehr), sie sind für Windows, Mac OS sowie grundsätzlich alle anderen gängigen Betriebssysteme geeignet. Ab Werk sind die Farbprofile aber in der Regel nicht installiert, weshalb Sie das nachholen sollten. Zusätzlich müssen Sie die Farbprofile in Ihr Layoutprogramm einbinden; wie das geht, zeigen wir im Folgenden ebenfalls ausführlich. 2ff7e9595c
