PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Identify colour requirements |
1.1 Publication conditions are determined to identify colour management requirements 1.2 Requirements are established to guide provision and use of colour profiles |
2. Calibrate digital devices |
2.1 Digital devices in the workflow are calibrated to produce accurate colour reproductions 2.2 Device profiles created during calibration are correctly used and stored 2.3 Digital devices are checked regularly to ensure they are still within calibration 2.4 Profiles or equipment parameters are adjusted to bring devices back into calibration, when required 2.5 Records are stored to ensure calibration occurs regularly |
3. Use colour profiles |
3.1 Source and destination profiles are identified within the workflow 3.2 Profiles are used to ensure colour on monitors, proofs and final product match as closely as possible 3.3 Images are converted to correct profile if incorrect profile is embedded 3.4 Correct rendering intent is used to ensure accurate colour conversion |
4. Configure software within workflow |
4.1 In the workflow, software applications with colour management features are determined 4.2 Software applications with colour management features are configured to meet output condition 4.3 Range of colour management presets are configured, saved and correctly used for various output conditions |
5. Maintain colour management workflow |
5.1 Colour management system is checked regularly to ensure consistent colour match 5.2 Monitors are calibrated regularly to ensure accurate reproduction of colour 5.3 Digital devices are re-calibrated regularly or when conditions change from initial calibration |
