What Are ICC Profiles?
An ICC Profile is a color profile used to help printed output appear more consistent and accurate for a specific printer.
ICC stands for International Color Consortium, the organization that standardized these profiles for use across different devices and software.
Fiesta uses ICC Profiles to adjust color when sending captures to print. If printed captures look different from their digital versions, selecting a different ICC Profile may help correct the issue.
