Chapter3 Handling Setting using OS ICM ICM (Image Color Management) is a Windows color control function to match apparent color between different devices such as a monitor and a printer. Apparent color on the monitor and on the printout is matched based on ICC profiles. An ICC profile is a file that describes characteristics of the device such as a monitor and a printer according to ICC (International Color Consortium) standards. However, since the color space of a four-color printer is narrow comparing to that of a monitor, it is impossible to accurately match colors on the monitor with printouts. When you click the [Color Correction] button with [ICM] selected, the ICM window appears.
