Chapter 7 Print quality and Print productivity

What is an input profile / standardization?

What is an input profile / standardization?

Definition

An input profile / standardization defines what color space you must use to interpret 
the color information of the file you want to print in a correct manner.

The two main input profiles (color spaces) are the following. 

RGB
The RGB color space is based on the RGB color model. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) 
is a suitable color model for computer graphics because the human visual system 
operates in a similar manner. 
The RGB color space is an additive color space, where you can mix colors based 
on light. You can create white light if you add equal parts of each of the three 
primary colors: red, green, and blue. All three colors are required to produce 
white and the absence of all three produces black. In additive mixing, the RGB 
colors are the primary colors and cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) are the 
secondary colors. 

[256] 

CMYK (Colors you print)
The CMYK color space is based on the CMYK color model. The CMYK (Cyan, 
Magenta, Yellow and Black color space is a subtractive color space, where you 
can mix colors based on subtracting light energy from the spectrum. The CMY 
toners are used to create RGB colors. All three inks are required to produce black 
and the absence of all three produces white. In subtractive color mixing the CMY 
colors are the primary colors and RGB are the secondary colors.
