First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a document for outputting;
determining that a color management resource (CMR) is associated with at least part of a component from the document for outputting; and
adding a command into an output data stream for outputting the document at a target output device, the command for invoking the associated CMR during output of the at least part of a component at the target device, the CMR comprising details for use when rendering the colors of the at least part of a component during its output.

Abstract
The Management of color presented at end point devices such as a display or printer is based on the implementation of a Color Management Resource (CR). A CMR is an architected resource stored accessibly to a print server or other processor that is used to carry all of the color management information required to render a print file, document, page, or data object.
