Speaking a common language

Just a pipe dream less than a decade ago, color management can today be accomplished in many different ways, depending on which one of an infinite number of printing workflows is being used. Says Dr. Richard Adams, a digital imaging and color reproduction specialist at the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF), "When the concept of color management was first commercialized, the technology was over-promised and over-sold. But today it exists; it's a practical reality. The problem now is getting people to understand it."
