In Search of PrintTalk and JDF -- McIlroy

The article concludes that "anybody suggesting that implementing ICC color management is easy, or using the phrase pushbutton color, should be condemned to press washup duty on the overnight shift for three years." Ouch again.

The authors suggest that the ICC color standards group has to accept a portion of the blame for color management's failure. As we move into the new JDF/PrintTalk era, I wonder if we'll have any better luck with these ambitious and complex overlapping standards.
