We have now covered all of the concepts for matching colors from one device to
another. To match screen colors to a printer, a CMS must do
the following:
| • |
|
Convert the screen RGB values to device-independent values, such as
CIELAB or CIEXYZ, using data from the monitor's ICC device profile. |
|
| • |
|
Convert the CIEXYZ values to CMYK values using data from the printer's ICC device profile. |
|
| • |
|
Compare the color gamut of the source with that of the output device and map the colors according to the render intent (the gamut data is obtained from the source and output device profiles). |
