How they work

Instrumentation converts the visual appearance of color into numerical values that can be accurately communicated anywhere in the world for any printing process, independent of substrate. Although handheld devices work differently from integrated color profiling tools, both are needed—color profiling to provide a "fingerprint" of the printing process, and handheld instruments to standardize the process across the workflow and for other purposes. Neither is an appropriate substitute for the other.
