Color management part 2--press fingerprinting

Color management software is used to direct the color transformations of an image from one device gamut through to that of another, in an attempt to make two outputs match. They're also used to edit and adjust the numbers of a device profile.

The International Color Consortium (ICC) publishes a format specification for color profiles, which describes how color data is to be expressed. Software developers and manufacturers of color input and output devices use these specifications. The ICC also publishes a registry of reference names for color profiles—which could grow to be of major importance as the industry embraces the need for a common color language.
