Calibrating a Device
A calibration application either creates a profile or tunes a profile to represent the current state of the device.A profile contains two types of device information: the actual calibration information describing how to perform the color match and the device settings at the time the match was made, for example, paper type, ink flow, or film exposure time. A device may have several profiles, each for a different setting, such as paper type or ink.
Your calibration program should first turn off matching on the device and generate its image. You should then perform the calibration and generate a profile.
