The illustration shows the internal
Color Management Module of a
KONICA MINOLTA color laser printer.
First, the RGB Source ICC profile
translates RGB values of the color
producing device (in this case a
monitor) to the standard CIE LAB
color model. Next, those CIE LAB
model values are translated into a
Simulation profile, if the user chooses
to use one. If a Simulation profile is
used, the color data is once again
translated to the standard CIE LAB
color model. Finally, the KONICA
MINOLTA Output or Destination profile
converts the translated data into
CMYK to be sent to the print engine.
Several RGB Source, Simulation, and
Destination ICC profiles are integrated
into the Color Management Module of
KONICA MINOLTA color laser
printers. You may also download other
Source, Simulation and Destination
ICC profiles.
A primary function of the internal Color
Management Module is to map
out-of-gamut colors to the closest
in-gamut color. This mapping or
"linking" process requires internal
calculation. KONICA MINOLTA color
laser printers offer a Link Quality
selection (high, medium and low). A
low link quality produces the fastest
processing, while a high link quality
produces the best quality but may
require more processing time.
Downloading ICC Profiles
The magicolor 2350 printer includes
two destination profiles, representing
the two resolutions (Standard and
High) that are used for ICC color
management. In addition to the
profiles implemented on the printer,
