Some white paper is whiter or brighter than others, and that can affect the colors of your inks. To better judge how they'll look, ask your print shop for a color profile targeted to the output device and substrate you’ve chosen. Once you have the profile, follow these steps to proof your work onscreen.
1. With InDesign closed, install the ICC/ICM file into the following path:
Windows: \Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
Mac: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
2. Open your document in InDesign.
3. From the View menu, choose Proof Setup > Custom.
4. Select the newly installed profile from the Device to Simulate dropdown menu and check Simulate Paper Color, which will also automatically check Simulate Black Ink.
Click OK and, if your monitor is properly calibrated, you’ll see onscreen colors very close to what you’ll get off the printing press.
