Color Management 164—Chapter 4.1
Color Management
KONICA MINOLTA technology automatically optimizes color output to pro-
duce professional quality, colorized documents without the use of sophisti-
cated manual optimization techniques.This chapter starts with a brief
introduction about color in general, and how your color laser printer pro-
cesses color.
Color is a visual perception involving:
A light source.
An object that absorbs, reflects, or transmits the light of the light
source.
A detector, which receives and interprets the reflected light from the
object.
A distinction must be made between light radiated by a source and light
reflected from an object. Although closely related, they represent two different
fundamental principles.
Additive Colors
Science has proved that
any color can be produced
with three colors: red,
green, and blue (the illus-
tration demonstrates this
with the help of three flash-
lights). These are called
the primary additive colors.
By mixing these colors in
different combinations at
various intensities, all visi-
ble colors can be simu-
lated. Light sources radiate
light of various percent-
ages of red, green, and blue.
White light is a mix of 100% red, 100% green, and 100% blue.
