Abstract
A system and method for creating a remote custom rendering profile and automatically delivering and installing the resulting remote custom profile into a digital front end (DFE) in order to perform color management for a rendering device. A color test rendering job comprising color swatches with a number of additional information can be forwarded to a remote service provider and the test job can be scanned and the custom rendering profile can be generated utilizing a profiler application. The resultant rendering profile can then be electronically transferred back to the rendering device based on the additional information and can be installed without user intervention.

A method for creating an integrated remote custom rendering profile, comprising:
- generating, via a rendering device, a test rendering job that includes a plurality of color swatches and placing additional information on said test rendering job in an encoded format;
- transferring said test rendering job including said plurality of color swatches to a remote service provider that subsequently scans said test rendering job in order to generate a custom rendering profile thereof;
- and
- automatically delivering and installing said custom rendering profile into a digital front end that performs color management on behalf of said rendering device based on said additional information without user intervention, thereby providing for the remote creation of said custom rendering profile.
A method for creating an integrated remote custom rendering profile, comprising:
- generating, via a rendering device, a test rendering job that includes a plurality of color swatches and placing additional information on said test rendering job in an encoded format;
- transferring said test rendering job including said plurality of color swatches to a remote service provider that subsequently scans said test rendering job in order to generate a custom rendering profile thereof, wherein said custom rendering profile comprises an ICC profile format;
- automatically delivering and installing said custom rendering profile into a digital front end that performs color management on behalf of said rendering device based on said additional information without user intervention;
- and
- transferring said custom rendering profile via a subscription model, thereby providing for the remote creation of said custom rendering profile.
A system for creating an integrated remote custom rendering profile, said system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- and
- a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
- generating, via a rendering device, a test rendering job that includes a plurality of color swatches and placing additional information on said test rendering job in an encoded format;
- transferring said test rendering job including said plurality of color swatches to a remote service provider that subsequently scans said test rendering job in order to generate a custom rendering profile thereof;
- and
- automatically delivering and installing said custom rendering profile into a digital front end that performs color management on behalf of said rendering device based on said additional information without user intervention, thereby providing for the remote creation of said custom rendering profile.
