Every color device, regardless of monitor, camera, scanner or printer, each requires a color profile that can accurately describes the characteristic of that device, in order to produce the best color output. The generic, canned or default icc color profile that comes with the printer drivers from the manufacturer may not always provide you with the most accurate color performance. The custom profile will take into account the ink, media, printer and RIP you use to generate the profile. When created properly, custom profile can result in significantly improvement in color reproduction accuracy, enhancing greater detail in shadow and highlight areas.
Lots of generic printer profiles are readily available from numerous sources. Often, these profiles work fine for you and just as often, give you unsatisfactory results. Moreover, not all printers are built identically, hence custom profile becomes the solely choice if accurate color reproduction is critical for your application.
