Document Colour Profile is set
Ensuring that a Colour Profile for the InDesign document has been set by the user.
GreenLight simplifies the setting and application of colour profiles to previews and exports.
This GreenLight check flags when the Colour Profile for the InDesign document has not yet been set in the GreenLight Book Info panel. To fix this issue the user needs to choose from the paper types offered in the Book Info panel, which can be accessed from GreenLight Run menu > Add / Amend Book Info.
A dropdown menu in the Book Info panel gives a choice of setting the Document Profile (also known as the ‘output intent’ when exporting to Print Ready PDFs) according to the File Creation Policy.
The options are present in the Output intent (paper type) dropdown menu. If the GreenLight client does not apply a default, and instead requires users to make a conscious choice then this is left set to *** please choose *** until a selection has been made.
On PDF export these colour profiles are applied to the document artwork and placed images.
If you are unsure of which colour profile to use, ask your publisher contact for more information on the paper type being used for your print job.
