Technology for Accurate Color

Charles A. Poynton

Color monitors are now a ubiquitous among workstations, and desktop scanners and printers are becoming increasingly affordable. However, mismatches in color handling mean that you cannot yet scan a color image, look at it on your screen, print it on a local color printer, and send it off to a prepress system, and expect the colors to remain true at each stage of the process. This situation is about to change: color management will soon be available on desktop workstations.
