Color Management and Printer Linearization

Relinearizing an Existing Printer Setup

Why you should relinearize? When environments are built for ColorBurst,
one of the most important things is linearization. A linearization file is the
curve that corrects for differences in chroma (a derivative of L*ab) at
different percentages. Over time (and on every different media) a printer will
drift from its original state. By relinearizing you are putting the printer back
into its original state. When you relinearize, you have made your
environment as accurate as the day it was made.
