What does the printing color management system in printing refer to?

Color management has gradually permeated the entire printing process. Due to various reasons, people still need to have a deeper understanding of the meaning of printing color management, as it is not only used for digital proofing, but also for unified color management of scanners (electric extensions), digital cameras, displays, printers, printing machines, etc. This enables color control throughout the entire printing process from scanning to production, output, proofing to printing.



The implementation of printing color management requires precise definition of the color characteristics of various printing equipment, that is, generating ICC Profile files for the equipment, measuring the color samples of the printing equipment with a spectrophotometer, and then calculating and generating them in professional software. The ability of ICC Profile files to accurately describe the color characteristics of printing equipment determines the effectiveness of printing color management. The accuracy of ICC Profile files depends on the precision of the measurement system used, as well as the algorithms and control parameters used to generate ICC Profile software. GretagMacbeth's color management system is the preferred choice in this area, with products including high-precision iProfile Bundle, iCColor Bundle, portable EyeOne Pro Bundle, and more.



More complex environments, such as advertising companies completing the pre production of many businesses, and many businesses not always printing in the same enterprise, require communication between printing factories. For such an open system, more coordination, a lot of time and manpower are needed for color modification to eliminate color deviation caused by different environments. Color management has more meanings. If every enterprise has a comprehensive color management application, this process can be greatly simplified. Printing factories can clearly predict and reproduce the color effects of advertising design, and it is also easy for printing factories to achieve the same print color. So, the real role of color management is that it is a bridge for color communication, and everyone can benefit from it.
