Click the right arrow to proceed.

MonacoEZcolor displays a progress bar

as it builds the scanner profile, then the

printer profile.

Once the profiles are built, MonacoEZcolor

displays the Finished screen, as shown:

You've now successfully built profiles for both

your scanner (for reflective copy) and your printer

(for the paper you used to print the target). Later

in this booklet we'll show you how to use these

profiles with SilverFast and Adobe Photoshop

Elements 2.0 or Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1.

If you want to start using your profiles

immediately, you can skip to "Scanning with

LaserSoft SilverFast" on page 23. In the next

sections, we show you how to build additional

printer profiles for different papers, how to build a

scanner profile for transparency scanning, and

how to calibrate and profile your monitor.

Building Additional

Printer Profiles

Remember that printer profiles are paper-specific,

so you may need to build additional profiles for

different paper stocks. You can follow the

previously described procedure to build additional

printer profiles. The only difference is that you

don't need to check Scanner Profile in the Name

and Save Profile screen (shown on page 8).

However, if you've already saved the printer target

from MonacoEZcolor as a TIFF file, you can

streamline the process slightly. First, you print the

target from Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 or

Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1. Next, you scan the printer

and scanner targets in a single image using

SilverFast. Then you use MonacoEZcolor to build

the printer profile.

When printing profiling targets, make sure the

color management features in both the host

application and printer driver do not alter the color

values in the target. The following sections offer

step-by-step instructions for printing the target

from Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 or Adobe

Photoshop 7.0.1.
