Introduction
From creation to consumption, a product cycle involves many centers of activity which may all be distinct entities and which may be remote from one another and linked by computer network. For instance, a buyer may be a retail outlet and the consumer may buy from the retailer's web site. Can color information be communicated with confidence in such a network?
Imagicolor® evokes the synthesis of many things, the magic of images in color on the artistic side and imaging colorimetry on the scientific side. Colorimetry is the science of measuring color in human perceptual coordinates that can be communicated electronically. For example, a designer in one country may wish to transmit, instantly, a color image of her creation to a marketing agent in another country. Often, color is a critical part of the communication. Accountability means that users in different places can communicate and make color decisions with confidence. Imagicolor® Technologies provide Accountable ColorTM, the next wave of color management.
