Color Management System (CMS)

A color management system converts color values from one device, such as a scanner, to color values from a different device, such as a printer, so that the colors reproduced by the printer correspond to those scanned. Where an exact match cannot be achieved, the color management system calculates color values that reproduce the colors of the original as accurately as possible.

Gamut

The entire range of colors available on a particular device, such as a monitor or printer. A monitor, which displays RGB signals, typically has a greater color gamut than a printer, which uses CMYK inks.
