What is the purpose of color calibration?
Calibration is process of ensuring accurate reproduction of color for images. Full color calibration is usually a two-step process: calibrating your input device, such as a scanner, and calibrating your output device, such as a printer or monitor. By calibrating input and output devices correctly, color is accurately captured by your scanner and is reproduced faithfully on your monitor or printer as well. You must calibrate your scanner before you scan or the image you get will be blank, all black, or simply a mess.
