  • Methods and apparatus for assessing and monitoring the capability and quality of a color reproduction system
    Patent number: 8149251
    Abstract: A color reproduction system comprises a color imaging output device (e.g., monitor, printer, etc.) and its device characterization (e.g., ICC profile, device link, etc.). A method for assessing the capability and accuracy of a color reproduction system is presented. This method may be used to assess the fit between a color reproduction system and its intended use (e.g., proofing, production, etc.). In addition, it may be used to monitor the color accuracy of a color reproduction system over time, thus informing users of the need to recalibrate and/or recharacterize the system.
