    6 dear customer in the past years, colormanagement made a big leap forwards. In the day to day work in graphic arts and industry, color is a central issue. More and more tasks, previously performed by specialists, are now performed by creative professionals. The prepress area on the other hand is co...

  • Page 7: Introduction

    7 why colormanagement? Every input or output device interprets colors in a different way. This can be compared with the diffe- rences in color perception between human beings, as everyone has a different color perception and „thinks“ colors different. This is because we all differ in respect of soci...

In general, one can say, that color deviations can be recognized from 3 ∆e on. With some colors, it will be below ∆e ...

    11 if you work with srgb, then your gradation in the calibration setup should be srgb or at least gamma 2.2 (right, srgb is not exactly gamma 2.2). If you are using adobe-rgb, then it should be gamma 2.2; with eci-rgb 1.0 it is gamma 1.8 and with eci-rgb 2.0 it is l* gradation. Note: keep in mind th...
