Specify profile settings in Device Linker

When you create a device link profile using Device Linker, you set rendering intent and separation options that affect how Device Linker maps color values from source to destination. Device Linker uses these settings to create the device link profile.

Note: When you match to a standard, Device Linker automatically sets the options that affect color accuracy.

Black point compensation - Scales the black point of the source color space to fit the range of lightness in the output profile, rather than clipping. This preserves black gradients, such as shadows. Black point compensation applies only to the Relative Colorimetric rendering intent.

Click Auto-detect to apply black point compensation only when the source black point is lower (darker) than the destination black point. Click Always to always apply black point compensation.
Preserve gray - Preserves RGB gray (R=G=B) or CMYK gray (CMY=0, K not zero) in the source and does not convert to black-only.
Preserve clean CMY primaries - Prints pure cyan, magenta, or yellow input colors as pure cyan, magenta, or yellow. This option applies only if source and destination profiles are both CMYK and you are not creating a device link profile to match to a standard.
Black Separation - Specifies whether to use the black generation of the source profile or the destination profile. It applies only if source and destination profiles are both CMYK and you are not creating a device link profile to match to a standard.

Click Same as destination profile (Output GCR) to re-separate source colors using the black channel of the destination profile. Click Preserve from document (Source GCR) to preserve the black channel of the source profile.

Select the Rendering Intent to use between each linked profile. If you are matching to a standard, select Relative Colorimetric unless you want to print paper white simulation (for proofing).
Set the separation options as they apply to your device link profile.
