6 Chapter 2—Setting up Kodak Proofing SoftwareCreating a custom layoutNote: The Certified Process for Color Confirmation requires a proofer that iscalibrated for the media configuration that is used to print the proof, and thecalibration must be current, not expired.If none of the built-in layouts suit your needs, create a custom layoutwith the Layout Editor.1. In Proofer Viewer, from the Configure menu, select Layouts.2. Click New.3. Select the options as desired.4. Click Save.Signing custom profilesDo not use following characters in file names: + - / < > [ ] { } ? . ! @# $ % ^ & * ( ) = : ; ' "Profile signingSigned profiles are optional for all proofs, except proofs printed withthe Certified Process for Color Confirmation. The Certified Process forColor Confirmation requires signed profiles. Signed profiles contain adigital seal to ensure that the profile has not been edited. When aprofile is signed, you and your customers know:●●●A particular profile was used.Proofs made with the profile will always be printed using the correctpaper.The profile was not changed since it was signed.Signed profiles come in two forms—Kodak profiles and customprofiles. Kodak profiles have gone through the Kodak quality assuranceprocess. In Proofer Administrator, on the ICC Profiles tab, the origin ofthese profiles is Kodak.Custom profiles are the ones that you generate and sign in KodakProofing Software. These profiles do not go through the Kodak qualityassurance process. In Proofer Administrator, on the ICC Profiles tab,the origin of these profiles is Custom.The profiles provided by Kodak for each proofer media are createdfrom a very large sample of media batches, ink batches, and proofers.As a result, they are much less likely to show color deviation than acustom profile created for one individual proofer based on one mediabatch and one ink batch. In order to maintain consistent colorperformance, it is strongly recommended that you use the Kodakprofiles that are delivered with the proofer. For the same reason, it is
Sign Profile dialog box 7Sign Profile dialog boxstrongly recommended that you use the Kodak proofer profile (alsocalled a paper profile) when creating a device link.If you alter the contents of a profile, the digital signature will be brokenand it will need to be re-signed. Changing the name of a profile doesnot affect the digital signature.What signing does and does not do to profilesThe signing process adds some Kodak-specific tags to the existingprofile and then seals it with a digital signature to ensure file integrity.These tags are compatible with the custom tagging specifications ofthe ICC, and do not alter the color characteristics of the profile in anyway.Customizing your profile further with a logoIf you want to include a logo on the caption for jobs printed with theCertified Process for Color Confirmation, you must submit the signedprofile and logo to Kodak to sign again with the logo. The logo must bea TIFF image, and it is added to the profile during the signing process.You cannot add a logo to the profile when you use Kodak ProofingSoftware to sign the profile. When you print a file using the CertifiedProcess, the logo appears immediately to the right of the Certified logoon the caption, before any of the caption text. The requirements for thecustomer-supplied image are:● CMYK TIFF format, 8 bits per pixel, stripped (not tiled), separated,planar configuration● Stored at device resolution● LZW compression is strongly recommended. For example, the 1500dpi CCP logo is 2341 KB uncompressed, but only 65 KB whencompressed using LZW.● Recommended size is maximum 0.5 in. (750 pixels) high × 0.5-1.0in. (750–1500 pixels) wide. The caption is optimized for 0.5 in.height, and making the custom logo any higher will increase thecaption size and decrease the maximum image area available forthe job.Media configurationSigns the selected custom profile and associates a mediaconfiguration with it. The signature includes the name of theselected media configuration.Select None to remove the media configuration associationfrom a profile.
