When you print the image, the CMS again translates the image data from the
monitor’s RGB color space to the printer’s CMYK color space—using the
information about both devices as stored in their Color Profiles.

So, although all of the devices in this example use different device dependent color
spaces, the CMS is able to translate between them and produce accurate,
predictable color.

What are Device Color Profiles

Color Management Systems use Device Color Profiles to interpret color data
between devices. DCPs are a collection of one or more ICC Profile data files. ICC
Profiles contain color characteristics of a given device (input, display, or output).

ICC profiles conform to the International Color Consortium profile specification,
allowing the same device profiles to be used across multiple platforms.

Where Do Color Profiles Come From?

Color Profiles are created by either Kodak scientists or other color professionals
using specialized software packages, sometimes known as profile building tools.

Kodak scientists use sensitive, specialized equipment to measure the color
characteristics of a representative example of each device, as supplied by the
manufacturer, to determine the intrinsic properties of the device.

From these measurements they develop a “characterization” of the device, called a
Device Color Profile, for each make and model measured.
