Abstract
In a color management method for a printing press, a color chart formed from a plurality of patches is printed by multi-color printing using the printing press and a plurality of ink colors. Each of the patches has a predetermined combination of dot area percent of the ink colors. The printed color chart is automatically scanned using a calorimeter to sequentially obtain color data of all the patches. A first profile representing a color reproduction characteristic of the printing press is generated on the basis of the obtained color data of the patches and the dot area percent of the ink colors set in the patches. A color management apparatus is also disclosed.
