Edit black controls for CMYK+
The black controls settings control how to handle black in the output. You can edit black controls for inkjet printers with multi-channel color (CMYK+). If you are making an RGB profile, separation settings do not appear.
After you make or import measurements in
Printer Profiler, the Apply Settings window lets you set the profile’s basic
black controls, advanced black controls, gamut mapping options, and processing. You can also load
existing settings from a preset (saved settings) or from a profile. Apply the black controls
settings to measurements.
Note: Change the settings only if the default
settings do not provide satisfactory results. If you are profiling a Fiery server, the default settings are the optimal settings for this type of Fiery server.
- In the Apply settings window, click Edit Black Controls.

Click the tabs to specify values for the following:

- Gamut mapping options: perceptual mapping effects, including chroma and shadow lightness.
- Processing: input data smoothing and various perceptual and colorimetric settings.
