ICC Profile Color Management

ICC Profiles contain data that determines various color attributes from a device, in order to achieve accurate color reproduction. The data held in an ICC Profile defines a mapping between the source (Camera, image file) and the destination (monitor, printer). Every device that outputs color or displays color is capable of having its own profile. Since every device display / output color differently, a standart was set by the International Color Consortium (ICC). With this standard, devices that are  originally far from accurate can be profiled to match. And since each profile is specific to its device, it can be manually adjusted if necessary.

While there are many profilling devices out there, the industry stardard is a Eye-One Pro. The Eye-One Pro is a spectrophtometer made by X-Rite, the leading provider in color management solutions. With the Eye-One pro you can profile computer monitors, projector, cameras and inkjet printers. The Eye-One Pro can be used with different devices to make profilling easier to manage. With the scanning ruler found in the i1 Pro package , you can take all of your profilling equipment with you and use anywhere. In house , the i1 Pro can be connected to the i1io automated scanning table for faster, more consistent scanning. And to profile even fasoter and with little effort, the i1iSis ha a spectrophotometer built in and even calibrates it self.
