Methods and systems for calibrating a source and destination pair

A machine readable medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:

• providing a destination test chart and a corresponding first source test chart, each test chart having one or more corresponding color patches;
• adjusting the source profile to substantially match a destination profile in response to receiving an input for visually matching an adjustable white color patch of a display of the source to a white color patch of the destination test chart;
• and
• progressively generating a second source test chart having modified color patches compared to the first source test chart based on applying a first transformation to the source profile in response to visually matching the white color patch.

A data processing system, comprising:

• a processor coupled to a bus;
• a display coupled to the bus;
• a memory coupled to the bus with the memory configured to store one or more programs and configured to store data for:
• a display profile associated with the display;
• a first displayed test chart with color patches;
• and
• wherein the processor is configured to send a command to a printer to print the first displayed test chart to form a printed test chart;
• to receive an input to adjust the display profile to substantially match a printer profile in response to visually matching an adjustable white color patch of the first displayed test chart to at least one corresponding white color patch of the printed test chart;
• and progressively generating a second displayed test chart having modified color patches compared to the first displayed test chart based on applying a first transformation to the display profile in response to visually matching the white color patch.
