Color Management--Degrees of Separation

Get the picture? Too many variables.

The most intelligent way to predict color, edit color and reproduce color is to reduce or eliminate as many of the color variables as possible in the workflow. ICC profiles help design firms, as well as prepress and print production professionals, in this task.

Using ICC profiles gives creative professionals the ability to predict color and to communicate it more efficiently from person to person, device to device, in a print production workflow. An ICC profile describes the manner in which a color device displays color and its color gamut.
