Color Scanners--The Color of Digital Originals

Don Rogers, product manager for scanning systems at Heidelberg Prepress, offers a CIELAB perspective on CIELAB significance.

"An important factor in the scanning process today is the clear benefit of scanning directly into CIELAB. CIELAB scan data can be used again for different CMYK requirements, or even different RGB requirements, just by attaching the correct output profile," Rogers explains.
