Abstract
Desktop publishing arose with the advent of the personal computer, especially the Apple Macintosh®. For the first few-years, most desktop imaging and publishing was done in Mack and white. However, in 1987 color became widely available on personal computers and the desire to print the composed images became a necessity. Users, however, quickly discovered that the printout from their printers whether low cost or high cost was not a faithful representation of the screen image. As color scanners came along, the problem increased in complexity because the original could be directly compared with the output. In 1991, Apple Computer introduced ColorSync 1.0, a set of color management application programmer interfaces or APIs to address the shortcomings inherent in color imaging systems. In 1995, ColorSync 2.0 was introduced, which corrected the known deficiencies of ColorSync 1.0, and also provided support for color across the industry.
