Color Management Part 1

In its biggest sense, a color-managed workflow is one in which every color input and output device employed in the print production chain has been a) calibrated to its optimal performance under a given set of repeatable conditions; and b) has been profiled, and is capable of employing industry-standard ICC color profiling data. That means we have a color map for each monitor—if it is used for any approvals or color decisions, scanners, proofers, and presses.
