GC 213 - Color Management Introduction

This course will introduce the use of color science in a printing production environment. The student will be introduced to industry standard test images, color measurement tools, and color management software to create ICC compatible color profiles using the LAB device independent color space. These profiles will then be used to manage color throughout the color reproduction process to achieve consistent and predictable color reproduction results. Students will learn how to calibrate and profile the monitor, scanner, and various color output devices and demonstrate competence in the use of reflective and transmission spectrophotometers to create ICC profiles and manage various workflow scenarios
