Abstract

The emergence of colour fax machines, colour digital copiers and digital electronic still photographic cameras has accustomed people in many businesses to consider the usage of colour in a wide variety of applications. For all the advances in the technologies of document scanners, monitors and printers, there remain fundamental differences in how various devices create, manipulate and reproduce colour. The IBM PRGS Toronto Laboratory CAS project Managing and Reproducing Colour Images (MARCI) addresses the problems of controlling colour throughout a network of diverse input and output devices. This paper describes the goals and objectives of the project, the MARCI system and software application, and gives the status of the relevant component technologies as developed in the system. Issues facing MARCI are described, as are future directions for development of the system.
