<strong>InterColor</strong> <strong>Profile</strong> <strong>Format</strong> Specification Version 3.0 June 10, 1994<br />

3.3 Output <strong>Profile</strong><br />

This profile represents output devices such as printers and film recorders. The LUT<br />

tags that are required by the printer profiles contain either the 8 bit or the 16 bit LUTs<br />

exclusively as described in the LUT tags. The bit precision supported must be<br />

consistent for all of the LUT tags. The LUT algorithm for profile connection space to<br />

device space transformations process data sequentially through a matrix, input tables, a<br />

color LUT, and output tables.<br />

The tone reproduction curve provides the necessary information to convert between a<br />

single device channel and the CIEXYZ encoding of the profile connection space.<br />

The mathematical model implied by this data is connection = grayTRC[device].<br />

This represents a simple tone reproduction curve adequate for most monochrome input<br />

devices. The connection values in this equation should represent the achromatic<br />

channel of the profile connection space. If the inverse of this is desired, then the<br />

following equation is used, device = grayTRC −1 connection [ ].<br />

Multidimensional tables are not allowed to be included in monochrome profiles.<br />
