Do you need color management?
Use the following guidelines to determine whether you need color management:
●
Color accuracy in your working environment isn't required if you rely completely on
prepress service providers and commercial printers for all your color work.
●
Color management is recommended for maintaining color accuracy in monitor display,
the ability to soft-proof colors, and color consistency in large workgroups.
●
Color management is recommended if you reuse color graphics for print and online
media, use various kinds of devices within a single medium (such as different printing
presses), or print to different domestic and international presses.
If you decide to use color management, consult with your production partners--such as
graphic artists and prepress service providers--to ensure that all aspects of your color
management workflow integrate with theirs.
