Installation using Windows OS:

Alternative installation method: 

Manually move the .icc or .icm files to the following system directory:

  • Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 - C:/windows/system32/spool/drivers/color
  • Windows 95, 98 -  C:/windows/system/color
  • Windows NT - C:/winNT/system32/color

Note: Please restart your graphics application (e.g. Photoshop) if it was open during the profile installation.

 

Installation using Mac OS:

Mac OS X El Capitan – Go menu > *hold down option key* > Library > ColorSync > Profiles folder

Mac OS X Yosemite and earlier – Macintosh HD > Users > *Username* > Library > ColorSync > Profiles folder

Mac OS 8-9x – System folder > ColorSync folder

Not seeing your ColorSync folder?

On a MAC running 10.7 and up, the "library/colorsync/profiles" folder location may be locked by default and can only be unlocked by an admin. This results in the inability of a user to install your ICC print profiles per the normal instructions. You need to unlock the profile folder in order to install printer profiles.  

To unlock the profile folder, perform the following:

  • select the profile folder
  • select file/get info (top line menu bar)
  • click on unlock icon (bottom right of dialog box) and provide admin passwords
  • change folder access state to read and write.
  • click and drag (or copy and paste) the profile into the folder
  • reverse the process.

Note: Please restart your graphics application (e.g. Photoshop) if it was open during the profile installation.
