ICC
An abbreviation for International Color Consortium. ICC color profiles are now used in
laser printers, scanners, and bubble-jet printers. Until now color profiles were the
concern of only printing service bureaus responsible for managing color, but with the
introduction of ICC profiles to desktop publishing, now anyone can become involved
with color management. Color profiles allow the printer to communicate its color
profiles so you can coordinate from scanning through graphic imaging, proofing, and
final printing.
