What is a Color Management System (CMS)?
A color management system is a system of hardware and software products. Together they ensure accurate color reproduction across all devices being used. The hardware components include the monitor, scanner, printer, for example. The software components include device profile (descriptions of how a specific device reproduces color), applications used to create profile (e.g. MonacoEZcolor), and applications that use profiles (e.g. Adobe Photoshop).
