A Study on digital color proofing method considering the printing characteristics of output device

Recently, as the prepress mainstream is changed to the digital workflow, various digital proofing systems such as high price dye sublimation printers and low price ink jet printers are widely used in printing industry. CRT monitors are also often used as a soft proofing device. However, it is very difficult to match the color image displayed on CRT monitors to the actual images printed on papers, because the color space of CRT monitors is RGB color system, and it is different with the CMY color system of the printing devices. Therefore, proper color compensations are needed to match the colors between hard-copy proofs on the printing device and soft copy proofs on CRT monitors. This paper shows the LUT and gamut mapping method considering the printing characteristics of output device is useful for the compensation.
