Details
of Colour Management Functions
As Wisp-PS is a
modular and multi-device system, its colour
management has been expanded to include direct
ICC profile linking. Wisp-PS has ColorBlind ICC
Profiles for all the devices it supports and it
uses the ColorBlind Colour
Management Engine to render these ICC profiles.The
ColorBlind Colour Manangement Engine allows you
to take any ICC profiles and dynamically link
them on the RIP to create you own comprehensive
colour library. This facility separately corrects
RGB Lineart, CMYK Lineart, RGB Bitmap and CMYK
Bitmap components even when they are on the same
page. We also provide base profiles and links for
users and dealers who do not want to tackle
colour themselves.
