Custom Profiling
Every device has its own unique color language – from digital cameras, scanners, and monitors to inkjet printers and sheet-fed presses. Each device has it's own gamut, or range of color which it can display or reproduce. The end goal of color management is to translate between disparate devices and represent and reproduce color consistently across those devices. To achieve this behind-the- scenes color management, the characteristics of each device must be profiled and provided to the color management system. Input devices such as digital cameras and scanners, through to such output devices as inkjet printers and offset lithography presses, as well as the monitors in between, must be accurately calibrated and profiled.

The human eye is a very sensitive color measurement device and has a gamut that far surpasses the abilities of the average monitor, scanner, or printer. Therefore color management is really a method for mapping larger color spaces to more restrictive ones without changing the perceptual intent of your color. Profiling devices allows the color management system to translate color between calibrated devices so that consistent color reproduction is achieved.

If devices are not properly calibrated and profiled throughout the workflow, the results will be inconsistent, the color management workflow will be corrupted, and the end result will be lost productivity and increased costs. Accurate profiling of your unique devices is critical.
Objective device profiles are the only way
SSI's color management team uses objective color measurement tools to profile your device input, display, and output. Our color management experts are experienced with all aspects of the process and provide true, consistent profiles. Once each device has been custom profiled, our team will then incorporate these latest profiles into your existing or new color management solution. You'll be assured accurate, predictable color — from input through output.

“SSI is a total solution provider from technical consulting and digital equipment to incredible support and service! They really took their time to walk me through my new system and provided an additional 4 hours of training. Their added value is impressive. I am very satisfied with SSI and I would highly recommend them to other photographers.”
