Abstract

A color management system using distributed profiles includes a color printer adapted to print controlled color using a custom profile. The color printer system creates a custom profile by reading its initial characterization data, the profiles of the inks and the profile of the paper used in the printer. The color printing system includes a spectral measurement module adapted to generate spectral measurement of an output of the color printer. The printing system computes its initial characterization data by using the output of the color printer, measured by the spectral measurement module. The printing system updates the paper profile, the ink profile and/or the printer characterization data based on the measurement of the spectral measurement module.
