Abstract

The problems of the ICC standards have quite a large effect in the production process, from the layout to the print-ready PDF file. For this reason it is necessary to understand the basics of the ICC standard’s interaction with PostScript and PDF.

To be able to produce reliably as well as use the strengths of the ICC standard, PDF/X-1a is the suitable format for the transfer of print data. These can be converted to different printed standards using color servers with DeviceLink profiles that allows a fully automatic color-management process for clearly defined tasks in agencies, repro houses and printers.
