This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.

The most straightforward ICC workflow only requires an ICC output profile if all jobs in the workflow paint all objects using ICC profiles. For example, as ICCBased color spaces in PDF, or structured ICC comments in the PostScript language, see PostScript language ICC comment handlers.

This workflow can be modeled with this configuration:

<<
  /Profile (iccprofiles/SWOP.icc) (r) file
>> setreproduction
CODE

where SWOP.icc is the ICC profile for the output device.

All colors are transformed through source and destination profiles, with the source profile supplied by the job and the destination profile from this configuration. The job may paint many different objects using different ICC profiles for each object, but only the one destination profile is used for all objects.

Colors painted in device spaces are not color managed with this configuration; they are handled in the same way as they would without color management.
