Different imaging devices such as scanners, displays, and printers work in different color spaces, and each can have a different gamut (the range of colors a device can display). Color displays from different manufacturers all use RGB colors but may have different RGB gamuts as a result of the type and age of the phosphors used. Printers and presses work in CMYK space and can vary drastically in their gamuts, especially if they use different printing technologies. Even a single printer's gamut can vary significantly depending on the ink or type of paper in use. It's easy to see that conversion from RGB colors on an individual display to CMYK colors on an individual printer using a specific ink and paper type can lead to unpredictable results.
The ColorSync Manager addresses these problems by providing applications and color peripheral device drivers with device-independent color-matching and color conversion services based on the ColorSync color management system. With this ColorSync support, the user can quickly and accurately convert color images for optimal results on a specified device.
