ICC/ ICM color profiles

Matching colors between computer screens and printed output is a considerable challenge, given the radically different principles behind color production in illuminated color (used by computer monitors, using the RGB process) and most printed material (which use the CMYK process). In addition, there are a wide variety of computer monitors (such as CRTs and LCDs, with many variant models offered) and printers (ink jets, color laser printers, dye sublimation printers, professional presses, etc., with many variant models of each type).

While monitors and printers vary in their quality of output, what matters most to those who produce professional printed material is that what designers see on screen matches the final printed output. Since printers vary widely in their output color, there can be no “universal” color profile for use by computer displays. Instead, designers adjust their computer display color profiles to match their chosen printer.

To assist this process, the computer industry has standardized a system of ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles for various devices (monitors, scanners, printers), which Microsoft supports in Windows through its ICM (Image Color Management) system. For more on ICC/ICM, please read “Color Management and Windows: An Introduction” on the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/color/icmwp.asp.

View and change the ICC / ICM profiles for your display

Windows and the SideCar display drivers will attempt to load a default color profile calibrated for your monitor. If this profile is unavailable, a default profile will be loaded. In either case, you can change this profile to a new profile, which may be supplied by your organization or other source. To view or change your color display color profile, go to the Display Properties / Settings dialog box:

1.Right-click on the desktop, select “Properties”.

2.Select the “Settings” tab.

3.Select the SideCar monitor you wish to adjust.

4.Click the “Advanced” button.

5.Click the “Color Management” tab. The following example shows the profile for the NEC LCD1850X LCD display:
