Hello Lars, Tom and list
In the print chain, we have the possibility of colormanagement at:
- application level
- OS / Graphics API level
- printer driver level
The main idea og my proposal is transparency what happens in this chain
by embedding meta-data into the print file:
- the application creating the print data writes into the meta-data what
the application did concerning colormanagement
- the OS / Graphics API handling the meta-data, does the same
- the printer driver is able to print this meta-data incl. informations
for colormanagement on printer-driver in a control slug
There's also the print spooler (such as CUPS).
