Fogra 39 ICC file

[etiennedebary]

Hello, i am working on final steps of a printing document, this big italian printer asks a Fogra 39 saved .pdf. There is no checking process so the document should be perfect.

I work on a macOS 10 computer with a CS creative suite. (all legal) The Fogra profile is missing.

Can i get the file, please ? etienne (at) debary.nom.fr

There is a broken link from this page :

Thank you 🙂

Do i read Fogra and ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.
icc are actually the same ?

[jmlevy]

ISOcoated_v2_300_eci is based on Fogra 39

Thanx for your help sir ! 🙂

They are not the same—Fogra 39 has a higher Total Ink and different black generation, but they do have a similar soft proof appearance.

Here’s Fogra39

Hey Rob, thanx !

Hey guys,

i can’t seem to get this Fogra profile showing up in the indesign pdf saving window! It drives me nuts. I’ve put this file everywhere and saved it and rebooted a thousand times, it pops up in Photoshop, it pops up in the predefined parameters… i’ll End up sending it in ISO 300 because I can’t spend days…

it actually looks like the pdf export window was saved in a cache and whatever I do it’s not going to change

Can you assign it to your document via Edit>Assign Profiles...?

[jmlevy]

In which folder did you store it?

The path to the top list profiles is:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended

[etiennedebary]

Yesse !!!

i had to activate the colour in Edit menu then I was able to apply the profile and exporting was okay !

[etiennedebary]

Thanx again guys ! Yes I had found advices and I found a lot of folders with .icc files in them. I used the colorsync tool too…

Used to make layout on a Performa 1 computer a few years ago. exploring the system folders is not unusual to me.

do i add [solved] to the title or something ?
