hplip and color management
This is a more general question. I am in the proces of creating a fully color managed workflow, from scanning over on-screen viewing and editing to printing. In such a workflow it is very important to get a predictable response from each of the devices involved.
For printers in particular, there are two ways the driver can impact a color managed workflow:
* either the driver is ICM aware, and knows how to deal with ICM/ICC profiles
* or the driver has some logic to perform color corrections, based on several parameters of the input (media type, photo vs other source)
The first one is the most desirable. The latter makes color management very difficult, because it makes the device unpredictable. In the latter case, it would be very desirable to have an option to disable the in-driver color corrections altogether.
So my question(s) regarding hplip:
* can the hplip driver deal with ICC/ICM profiles ?
* if not, does the driver come with it's built-in color correction functions ?
* if so, are these color corrections consistent regardless of the input, chosen media type, output quality,... ?
* if not consistent, is there a way to disable them completely so that other color management tools can reliably and consistently perform the necessary color corrections ?
Thank you,
Geert Janssens
