Purpose
Purpose of this feature is to simulate a shadow or grain structure of a material in the print.
This is done by enriching a Reference ICC profile with the bump file of the structure.
How to create the enriched ICC
1. Create a bump file or Grey file in e.g. Photoshop - in tif format. PrintFactory offers 3 default paper grain simulations. Example below - opened in Editor
2. Uploading the .tif:
- RIP -> Help -> Software Manager > Resources tab
- Import the tif
2. Calibrator: enrich reference ICC
- Open Calibrator -> Tools -> Edit reference profile and Select an ICC you wish to bump
- Select the grey file in the drop down.
- Note: The line in the graph represents the difference between K and White. E.g. if set to 10% then that means 10% darkening or lightening.
- Save the ICC with an amended name
- restart Layout and select the ICC as new reference profile.
- Output can be checked in
