Abstract:
A color printing system, comprising:a color printer adapted to receive an image file and an original color profile associated with the image file and print at least one color output based on the image file and the original color profile; a color measurement module adapted to generate a color measurement of the at least one color output; a color management module adapted to compare the color measurement of the at least one color output with the original color profile and determine if a variation in color exists between the color measurement of the at least one color output and the original color profile; and a color profile manager adapted to modify the original color profile and create a modified color profile if the color management module determines that the variation in color exists, wherein the modified color profile compensates for the variation in color, wherein the at least one color output includes a first color output and a second color output printed after the first color output, and wherein the color management module is adapted to compare a color measurement of the second color output with a color measurement of the first color output to determine if a variation in color exists between the second color output and the first color output.
