To be comfortable with the working fundamentals of color management, and to therefore be able to achieve the highest-quality and consistency of color printing output, it is helpful to be conversant with the three key components of color management: color spaces, color gamuts, and color profiles:
Color spaces are defined by the colorants you use when capturing, working, viewing, and outputting you images. RGB and CMYK are the two most common color spaces in which we work—RGB for capturing, editing, and viewing, and CMYK for printing.
Color gamut refers to the range of color values that a specific color device can reproduce. The color gamut of a device is affected by many variables, with the colorants (phosphors, inks, toners, and so forth) and substrate (paper, plastic, glass, and so forth) being the two most important.
Color profiles are files that contain information about the color gamut of a specific device/substrate combination. The more-specific and accurate the color profile is to the device/substrate combination to which you are printing, the higher-quality print you will get and the moreconsistent your results will be.
