The
official web site of the I.C.C. (International Color Consortium).
You can download there whole technical specifications of I.C.C.
architecture and profiles.
Be
careful however: The adhesion of a commercial Company to the
I.C.C. is not a pledge of quality of its products. Not more a quality
proof than a Pantone certification or a Brunner control bar on a color
proof!
Among
I.C.C. members, several important Vendors whose printers, scanners or
software are unable to correctly use (or create) I.C.C. profiles.
As for
any other "Business to business" Market, it belongs to the End
User to assess the real quality of products. The Vendor is never held responsible of selling non-working or badly designed products,
because he is not supposed to have the knowledge nor the expertise of
his Customers!
I.C.C.
have however the great merit of putting at disposal of all H/W and S/W
developers the full free technical specifications of "I.C.C.
profiles " (named "Colorsync profiles" by Apple
Computers), in the form of complete downloadable pdf files.
