Abstract

The most important issue in the current printing industry is managing the perfect color reproduction. Hence, the importance of color management in the printing industry is increasing day by day. Color management saves time and money for color users. With the help of color management, benefits such as accurate onscreen color, output device simulation, gamut checking, and color consistency between devices will reduce the amount of time and materials required to complete color production tasks.

The main purpose of this thesis is to develop ICC profiles and to compare the print quality of ICC profiles generated for different printing devices, including the Shinohara Offset Press, Tektronix Xerox Hot Melt Ink Printer, 8200N, and the HP DesignJet 755 CM wide format inkjet printer using different substrates in the Western Michigan University printing pilot plant. The color gamut of each of the created output profiles is viewed by Chromix ColorThink 2.1.2 software. A Profile with low ΔErms will give better printing results.
