Xerox 560, 550 manual Importing a destination profile, Importing a source profile, Requirements

48 Chapter 7—Managing color

The source profile defines the RGB or CMYK color space of the object’s source: characteristics such as the white point, gamma, and type of phosphors used. The destination profile defines the gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The CX print server uses a device-independent color space to translate between the source color space and the color space of the output device.
