The process of determining and adjusting the properties of a display device or the colors in an image to ensure that the rendered image is accurate to the human eye.
Calibration of monitor or other devices for accurate color display.
The process of ensuring the accurate reproduction of color for images. Full-color calibration is usually a two-step process: calibrating your input device, such as a scanner, and calibrating your output device, such as a printer or monitor. By calibrating input and output devices correctly, color is accurately captured by your scanner and is reproduced faithfully on your monitor or printer as well. connection (See interface.)
A process by which the input (digital Camera, Scanner) Monitor, and Output (printer) are matched to use the same or similar color palette. This insures that the image as seen on the monitor has the same range of colors as the image that is printed, and any adjustments made to the color of the image in the computer are accurately represented when the image is printed.
The process of matching the color on the monitor to the color that is actually produced by the printer.
A system of software and/or hardware that matches the colors between two or more digital devices. Color calibration systems commonly compare device color profiles and translate one color model into a device-independent language that the next color device can use.
Software and/or hardware that coordinates the color match between two or more digital devices.
Coordination of the color matching between two or more digital devices by means by hardware or software.
Color calibration is a means or method of setting a computer monitor, scanner, or color printer to a standard set of color values so as to ensure that all colors remain consistent throughout each step of the imaging process.
The process of setting up your computer so that the color output from your printer matches the colors you see on your monitor.
This article is about the color calibration on output devices such as displays and printers.
