Color management is a method used to transfer color information incorrupt through the print process so that the end result is stable and predictable. Color management is very importand in modern day working environment and it‘s necessary to know the basics in color management to achieve suitable results.

The reason for the necessity of color management is that when you work with colors in computers you are really just working with numeral data that define the colors. Each and every device interprets this data with it‘s own method. To limit the change of outcome while moving the numeral data between the various equipment that are normally used in print processing we need to gather information about how each device interprets the numeral data and work with their effect. This is done by creating profiles for each and every device. A print profile is in fact a computer document that includes information about how the device handles color information. If you configure each and every device in the print process right and create a profile for each device you can limit the change in color information in the print process while being able as a end user to see and predict the end result.
